“Give me your phone number!”
It does not seem to matter to her that she is six and I am…not.
Yes, I started my teaching journey rather late…
Secretarial work just wasn’t cutting it anymore…
Again, it didn’t matter to her that I am several years older…
I am the ‘fun’ teacher…the ‘nice’ teacher…the ‘pretty’ teacher.
What I lack in classroom management (since this is my first year), I make up for in enthusiasm, kindness, creativity, subject knowledge, and yes…fun.
This was not fun…
I had to leave a note with her ‘every day teacher’ that little girl insisted that I give her my cell phone number.
I did not, for the record…
I am weird and admittedly a little immature, not predatory!
