Where was the mother?
Out earning a living.
Where was the Father?
That is anybodies guess.
One of my 7th Grade
team teachers got mad one day because there were
few assignments turned in.
She had to leave the room, and when she went back,
she asked the students to
take their work home and
get it signed.
A student raised his hand and
said he
would not see a parent that night.
When asked,
10 of the 17 students
would not see a parent before morning.
Of those 10,
7 were not sure when they would see a parent before the weekend.
Some of them were the
oldest child in the family and
had to go home,
cook food for other children and
see to their homework and
other needs.
We had 4 of these classes, while other students were in algebra, pre-algebra, band and honor choir. 34 or 35 kids, no parent.
I didn't,
don't,
know what to do. . .
Do YOU?
WHAT?
