Teacher's Pet

I was never the teacher's pet in school. I always talked too much. I never sat still. I asked why we had to learn to write in cursive when we just needed to learn to write our names that way. I even asked would we REALLY need to know Pi as adults. Nope, I was never the teacher's pet in school. I think they liked me, or maybe that was wishful thinking.

I have a similar student here in my class. He loves to talk and wiggling is definitely a sport in his mind. Just before Thanksgiving he asked me why he had to learn to write in cursive when he really just needed to know how to write his name that way. We've not made it to lessons on Pi, but I can already tell you what his question will be for me.

You know what? He is definitely this teacher's pet. His strong personality and eagerness to really understand just WHY is exactly one of the main reasons we homeschool. Just remember to pray for the teacher. We've added it to our morning prayer list.
