As my daughter drives home from teaching I get to hear the things that happened that day. She calls me on her car phone,,, all hands free.
Hickman Mills School district is having some sort of printer problem .. district -wise .. so she can't print out all the papers she needs... This has been going on for days...botheration! She may use our printer for some stuff if they don't get it fixed by next week.
Her school building had it a/c fail...luckily her classroom tends to be cool. But it has been hot enough for outdoor recess to be cancelled.
The kids got to watch an actual live interview with Dolly Parton... the kids knew about the free books etc. but weren't aware of her music. So after the interview Carolyn played "Jolene" and "9 to 5" which they ( 1st graders) loved. BTW she was actually in KC today!!
I also hear about some of the kids... One kid when being told how to behave told her he didn't have to do what she said... then he said he was the smartest kid in the class ( gifted class). She told him he wasn't ( true)... Boy was he shocked.!! Guess he'd been told many times he was the smartest!!
By the time she gets home,,, she is "de-stressed"

I saw some of her interview. Wise 'ol Dolly. yep, that boy may have been the smartest but not the smartest for being a little arrogant crackpot! Linda in Kansas
she knows all the test scores of her students ... and so knows he wasn't the smartest!!
Any school teacher needs some way to get “de-stressed” every day after work. Children these days are a whole different kind than what we were in the fifties. The whole world is so different now.
actually she can handle the kids... most of the stress comes from the administration ...
