No More Tears

Statistics gathered after two days of teaching fifth grade, after four years in Kindergarten, first, and third grades:

  • Number of crying children: 0
  • Number of children who didn't know how they were getting home: 0
  • Number of references to "Mommy", "Daddy", or siblings in other classrooms: 0
  • Number of pant-wetting incidents: 0
  • Number of pant-pooping incidents: 0
  • Number of bad attitudes/smart mouths: 0
  • Number of children unable to zip and/or button their own pants or tie own shoes: 0
  • Number of children unable to write own name: 0

I can only conclude that fifth grade is the very best grade of all the grades, ever. An alternative conclusion is that I have died and gone to heaven.

19. Funny you should ask. I thought of the new name last night, and didn't remember to add it until just now.
