Substitute teacher-- taking away the afternoon snacktime of first graders who eat lunch at 11am is not the key to a peaceful rest of the day.

What if it's in an eco-friendly travel mug? ;) What's *really* going on in your child's school? http://www.upworthy.com/what-lots-of-teachers-think-but-are-scared-to-say?g=2&c=ufb1 I live under the fear that as soon as I throw away a shoebox, a request for one will come home from school. #preschoolproblems For having green initiatives and being paperless, these schools send home a lot of damn paper. |
