I have been fortunate enough to find a nice job at a local elementary school here in Anaheim. I'm currently teaching 5th grade and while most of my students are wonderful, I cannot believe the behavior some of them show! I've been a nanny in the past and have never allowed any of my charges, regardless of their age, to utter a word of vulgarity! I can only imagine these children pick it up from home or their schoolmates, but why must they be taught these words at such a young age?

And don't even get me started on their use of technology. Is it really necessary for a ten year old to have an iPhone that they try and sneak texts during class? Who are they texting??

	That's amazing. You're only just down the hall then. How have we not met until now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wait, just down the hall? Are you Mr. Williams? Rory Williams? We haven't officially met, but I may have waved at you a time or two. I just started and I must admit, have not gotten about to meeting my fellow professors! Drop by sometime after school. I know I'm here relatively late. (Reply to this) (Parent)
