The second episode in the series "Poop Pretzels" was true. I really did eat a piece of poop. A pretzel poop, that is.
A plethora of tales waiting to be told. . . but are they fact, or fiction? You be the judge.
One year I had a class full of respectful, kind, eager, capable students. Their behavior was commendable, and any teacher would have taken immense pride in them. Anything I asked them to do, they did with care and courtesy, and whenever I taught a lesson their eager eyes watched intently, their open ears listened politely. There were never any problems to speak of. At the end of each day I went home proud and relaxed.
The End

So, now it's up to you, America! In your comments, tell me if you think this story is fact or fiction, and explain your reasoning. I'll reveal the truth in an upcoming post.

FICTION!!!!! Sounds like the Stepford Children to me. That doesn't happen in my classroom EVER and I only have one student.
NO way you had a class without one little troublemaker. This one's the fiction story.
it has to be fiction...theres gotta be at least one little demon in each class, right?
Judging by the amount of years you have taught elementary I say it is a fact. But if it did happen, it probably won't happen again.
Every class has at least one little butthead. But, you could be trying to trick us. Who would believe such a thing?
What to do
What to do
I say FACT.

What is this...a comedy show??? FICTION times a million!!
FICTION, from the beginning of time up until the day Jason tried to snooker us.
Jason the best of kids will challenge you. It's not a bad thing, but it can be a pain in the butt. So, your little robots are fantasy!
Now, on the other hand, when I was a child, I fit your fantasy mold to a T.
Total fiction.
There's always one kid, or one bad day when they're all possessed of evil demons or one problem.
And I can't imagine going home from teaching relaxed every day!
Oh, lord knows this is NOT true.
Unfortunatly, not enough parents teach their kids at home how to act...when they get in school (or public) they get all sorts of crazy.
It could happen . . . I hope.
Not a chance in heck would that be true.
haha! these comments were funny! Is your bro Paul trying to say that you're OLD? LOL
I'm going to go with FALSE.
I think maybe your indulged in my JackO'Clock and had a black-out teacher's fantasy.
I say true...that combo a few years back was very nice.
I think it may be true. I think the students are not children, but a class of adults for some special class or siminar.
Long time lurker, first time commenter. LOL!!
:)De
I was going to make the same comment as De before me.
My guess is that the story is true, but your students were senior citizens, and they were charmed by you.
E, also a lurker and first time commenter.
I want this one to be true!
After reading Pumpkins Blog, and knowing that you teach at the same school, Im saying it's true,
AND, Im gonna venture to guess that you were the teacher that hand-picked all the naughty children to go to Pumpkins class, and selected all her nice kids to transfer to your class.
That would make a really nice year for some lucky teacher, was that you?
It might have been fact in 1950! Now or even in the last 15 years-FICTION!
I'm jumping forward from my lurkitude to follow the comet. You don't look old enough to have taught a class far enough in the past for that story to have been true. ;)
That, and you used too many absolutes. I could maybe believe that they did "almost anything" you asked, that there were "rarely problems", and "nearly every day" you went home proud and relaxed.
I'm generally not a negative person, but I'm just not buying this. :)
Ohh, HSH is so sweet taking my side and very logical, but no, none of my angst is Jason's fault. He just gets to listen to me complain about it. (I also clarified this on my blog :)
BS in it's purest form. No way did you get a class without at least one gremlin.
Unless you secretly doled out corporate punishment?
One year, you taught Kindergarteners?
i've heard classes like that exist. i just thought they were in the same category as big foot and unicorns...
After 3 of these like posts, I'm going to say that all 3 are true.
I was a teacher for 10 years so I know for a fact that this one is FICTION!
Oh, how I wish it was true...but, alas, I was a teacher and cannot say that this was ever my experience. Not even for one day. Boo.
