Wonderful! Your story reminded me of one of my students. She...takes...forever....to...ask....a question. It's not that I want to answer her, but I also want to get to things like, I don't know, actually teaching. Another teacher. Wonderful! Your story reminded me of one of my students.

It’s not that I want to answer her, but I also want to get to things like, I don’t know, actually teaching.

The kids I tutored (all non-white) were constantly calling each other "fags" and "niggers" and the like, and just generally being assholes to each other, and I was there for an hour a day trying to work on their fluency and phonemic awareness. I'm working with 3-5 year olds now. They still say hilarious shit like "you're a fucking bitch, Miss J", but when they are this young you still have a feeling that you could maybe, just maybe, help them become better human beings before you send them off to kindergarten.
