I spent my day at Green Acres Elementary School. It was educational to say they least. It was a "team teaching" position, which means that 2 classes share the same room (total of 25 kids) and 2 teachers share the responsibilities. So, today it was me, and one of the real teachers.
I sub for South Cobb, which has a very diverse demographic. Every kid, with exception of one, was either African America or Hispanic. Now, these kids were very well-behaved, and generally followed directions quite well. But one kid in particular stood out....
We'll call him Robert.
Robert is a super smart 2nd grader. Today they were finishing their "friendly letters" which they had been working on yesterday. The letter could be to whoever the kids chose, and had to have a topic, and some main points, etc, etc.
This was Robert's letter:
"Dear, Dad,
I hope we get to see you soon. I really wish you could see me. I wish you would stop telling us you were coming to see us, and then not show up. You have not seen me in a year.
I love you
Love Your Son,
Robert"
Robert broke my heart today :(
