3rd Grade Honesty for Teacher Appreciation Week


This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, when teachers everywhere who question their good judgement in deciding to work with our kids are supposed to receive the encouragement to continue. There is nothing like the honesty of a 3rd grader to give you that needed dose of reality. But there I go, boasting again on another proud parenting moment. I am so glad I thought to give my son a name worthy of a Pulitzer winning author! Here is a recent 3rd grade writing assignment, verbatim:

"At a regular I learn math, sience, n, reading. I always savor to go home cause I don't like to learn. our Dismisle is at 3:30pm. When I get home I have 3 hours to play."

And he wonders why the teachers don't adore him! That, and falling out of your chair regularly during class while spinning around in constant inattention do not tend to win points with teachers.
