What a great teacher you must have been. Those 3rd graders will never forget that lesson, even if they don’t always abide withthem.
How nice of you, AFTR!
I fell into the position and decided I loved kids and for four years, had a blast. I went to, of all places, Regent U in Va Bch, Va (Pat Robertson’s place where Trump visited today) to finally get a credential. In an on-line class, second term, while my mother was dying, I answered a question about Ebonics which I scoffed, derided and said it was bogus. I was called a racist by a fellow student on line, my prof was mad at me for being provocative and the Dean was mad at me for forwarding her comments to Mr. Robertson and not following protocol.
Needless to say, I gave it up....but still hear from past students and their parents with fondness for their third grade teacher...I was blessed by those kids...cheers to you!
