Why I Like Elementary

There's something about teaching elementary students that goes to the root of human nature. Greed, selfishness, finger pointing, it's there. Generosity, forgiveness, unique moments of wisdom, also accounted for. It's like a sermon without the pulpit or barrage of singing. Well, in my classroom anyway.

I never realized until I seriously looked at the life of Christ how Biblical "mind your own business" truly is. Don't worry about them. What are you doing?

It's a good thing we outgrow the selfishness and tattletaling and not the generosity or forgiveness. Then we'd be totally lame.
