They're just so darn cute
I love being a 2nd grade teacher. The kids in my
class are so cute and innocent. They're at the
perfect age. I used to teach sixth grade, but I
quickly realised how that it was a mistake, whence
cliques form, the bullying flourishes, and kids
learnt how to be terrible to each other. By then,
they're corrupted by bad role models, no respect
for authority and no desire to learn.
No; 2nd grade children are far better! The parents
are still making an attempt to shield them from the
harshness of the world. They look at me with wide
eyes, eager to learn, taking in all I share with them.
My favourite day, is Valentine's Day. They make little
paper packets they place on their desks to be filled
with cards and/or candy. This year, I baked some
delicious cookies at home and I arrived early to
deliver one to each student. Iām so excited to see the
reactions.
I smile all morning. I smile as the kids arrive, dressed
in red and pink. I smile as they happily tear into their
construction paper holders to see what's inside. I
smile as they give me an adorable thank-you once
they see the cookies I've made them. I smile as they
bite into them. And I smile as they one by one fall to
the ground, shaking and turning blue.
After all, they're at such a cute age. It would be a
shame to let them grow up.
