I Cannot Get Along With These Kids

I cannot get along with these kids he said.
Which ones? I asked him.
None of them.
In your class?

In the school.
They all hate me.
There is not one you can get along with?
No.

How did that happen?
They are awful.
All of them?
Every single one.
Just like my last two schools.

Well, it's perfectly obvious who is the problem!!! I could never understand why people who don't like children go into teaching.
