Since I've been teaching, I've also worked all the afterschool projects. It starts fairly soon after the beginning of the school year and kids can sign up and stay after school for a while to do all kinds of various things designed to help them learn while having fun.
So one day, I'm walking around to the different classes passing out forms for the interested kids to take home to their parents.
I stopped in to our first/second grade room and gave the con job about what the after school program was and what we did there and when it was and how much fun we had. Of course almost every child raised their hand. There's always one, however, that will stand above the crowd.
A little boy grabbed a paper from my hand with a crazed look in his eyes. "Oh you better give me one of those." he said. "Mom wants me outta the house bad."
After keeping him for a few years, I can sympathize.
