The One Bad Apple

We send our children to school Expecting the teacher to love them. The kindergarten teachers are great at this. Practically each and every one of them. But what if your child gets the one bad apple in the state? A teacher who uses sarcasm and meanness? Who does not let them use scissors or glue? Who lectures all day while they sit still like Stepford wives? Who chastises the ones who fall asleep due to her blatant meanness? What if your child gets the teacher everyone has tried to get out for the past ten years? What if the principal tells you it is hopeless? What if your child’s light begins to fade? What would you do? We moved to another state at the semester But by then it was too late. She hated school. Just like the teacher.
