School And Kids

I love kids. All kids but there’s a special place in my heart for kids in the primary grades and not just because I’m a former first grade teacher.

I love them because at that age kids are happy, optimistic, and ebullient. They all want to learn and they all believe that they can.

Side note: They can learn. They all can.

In all the years I taught first grade, I never met a kid who didn’t want to learn. Never met one who didn’t believe they could learn to read and conquer the world.

They just need the chance.
