Thursday after school I was flipping through the kids' homework from the night before to check over it, when I came across this:
It's from a kid that I'm pretty sure DOES in fact like me, so it was more funny than anything. I totally showed it off to another lady on my team, and called Missy to tell her about it after school.
Well, yesterday I decided that I would call this child up to my desk and ask them to read it to me. I was wondering if they would read it as is, get uncomfortable, or just read it straight out. So I call the kid up to my desk and ask them to read this note to which they reply very enthusiastically, "Dear Ms. McCormack, I don't like you!!!". I sort of paused for a moment to see if it would sink in to this child what they had just said to me, but no, it def did not. I honestly had to control the laughter, I was quite amused. I asked why they would write something mean like that on their homework to which they replied, "because I just hate it when you give me homework. I don't like homework!" haha. Just as I suspected, this kid clearly likes me, I get hugs and stories all the time; they just don't like homework! hahaha
First off...Congrats to this kid for being good at math...I looked over his answers and they all are correct...And I didn't like my teacher that gave me homework either so I feel their pain. The homework should be making stories up, or capturing a lightning bug, or sticking gum in someone's hair! When you make them do things that will help them later in life all you are setting yourself up for is a lot of comments like this. =)
