Preschool

I have been a preschool teacher for almost 10 years now. I have had wonderful years and I have had years that have made me go home, rub my husband's feet and sing praises to my children. This year has been a great year. It's amazing to watch different trends in parenting. This year I definitely have a group that respects the authority at home. ...That or they fear it, hey I'll take what I can get. (Little side note, no matter what anyone says teachers like to know that you whip your kids at home, it makes our job so much more effective) more on that later.
Anyway, the other day I was going over letters with my kids and I decided to be really smart and show them some of the letters in cursive which started a whole discussion on the word and what it meant. They loved it and soon they were asking for all different letters. Among the loud enthusiastic voices I hear,"Mrs. Rutledge! Mrs. Rutledge! What's the "curse of D?"
I love my job.
