Followup to the finger story. Same class same day
I asked the kids what they were doing over the weekend... and the conversation went back and forth and maybe I bought up with you have to do what your parents do.
And a kid who has been sitting in the front drawing on his worksheet, added to the conversation. He looks up and says: "sitting at home getting drunk and smoking cigarettes."
And the thing is, if it wasn't inappropriate, that he was an adult not talking to me out of school I think it probably would have been an accurate statement about lots of adults in my community.
I tried to be subtle, but I leaned over and said: "that isn't appropriate here in school."

You asked. He was honest. Why is that not appropriate at school?
And...think...she was only 7 when she was removed from her bio parents and placed in a safe, non-yelling foster home.
You make a HUGE difference in their lives. That's important.
some times it isn't honest
as much as it is just a stream
of conscious
actually not to bad
since it took me some
effort to figure out what
he was saying
