Godmommy

I'm a godmommy. I cannot believe my best snce since I was four and she was fave, had a baby over two years ago now. He was born two months and the doctors were scared that he wasn't going to make it. He was only 3.9 pounds when he was born. Now he is two years old and he is walking and talking.
On Saturday September 20, 2008, Maeson, my godson, said "Godmomommy" for the first time. He was so excited to see me. It was the greatest feeling in the world. I hugged him and kissed him and taught him how to play tag that day. Maeson is learning so much so fast.
The doctors thought he would be delaied a few months to a year. So during the summer I went on Starfall.com and taught him his letters and the sounds. I have also been counting with him.
The beginning of this month he started school. His teachers told him mother how smart he is for his age and how he knows so much. She told me "Godmommy knows how to teach my godbaby." I was so happy.
That monday i picked him up from school with his mother. He was so excited i came he yelled out "you came come come." That night we went out to dinner and had a very nice evening and i got to spend a lot of time with friend who is also my godsister and my godson.

2nd Grade Teacher

I get up set when my family member's, friends, and other people say that "you teachers have it so easy."
My friend told me this yesterday. Then he gave me reasons why for example, we get off all holidays, we always have Saturday and Sunday off etc. I blow up in his face and told him that he was a sh*t head. his response back was "those who cannot do teach." I responded "You cannot do anything without beinging taught therefore you would be a do nothing without us teacher."
It makes me so mad when people tell me teacher have it "easy". I would love to see those people go into a teacher and control 26 children and teach then at same time. Most people don't' understand what teachers go through. Yes, some school are "easier" but everyone faces there own obstacles. For example, last year there were 16 boys in my class and 8 girls. Having more boys in a class is an obstacle with in itself. However have 12 of those 24 children who have been held over once or twice makes it more difficult.
I was trying to explain this to my friend but he wasn't seeing it my way. So I invited him to my classroom and i told him he could teach a lesson. He told me " F no, you must be crazy i don't want to work with those children, i don't even wanna take care of my own most times."
