Less Evil Me

As much as my kids say they like me, I don’t think they really do. I’m just the lesser of two evils. I teach five classes now. Two of them are being switched to another English teacher who is already on campus. These two classes—and I’m not exaggerating—literally yelled and screamed. Then they shouted their opinions about the teacher. For the other three classes, the school is possibly hiring a new teacher for them. These three classes heard from the other two classes about their new teacher, and everyone is panicking about what teacher they will be getting. They’ve heard rumors about other teachers and how difficult or how archaic they are, and compared to them, they like me because I’m young. Basically, I’m the lesser of two evils.

Kids don’t like change very much.
