Halls filled with nothing but stacked desks.
Blythe and Mrs. Miller
When I asked her what the best parts of third grade were, Blythe said,
"I liked the stores and how when we were good the teacher would give us little privileges like sitting by our friends. My teacher was very kind and patient. Mostly everything."
I think she was distracted when I asked.
Happily, Blythe did like school.
Brandt and Ms. Cooper
When I asked him what the best parts of fifth grade were, Brandt said,
"Colonial store and Colonial Day. Basically all of it." When I probed for more he said,
"My teacher. She was kind. Point parties. Being a lunch worker. Recess. Lunch.
Math, social studies, science."
Yep. He's spent nine months in fifth grade and he can't think about what he liked best.
Distracted. But he liked school, too.
