If you are a teacher, you will be well aware of the many and vast excuses we use on a daily basis to explain the erratic behavior of our students. Here are a few of my current favorites:
1. "There is going to be a full moon soon." Usually said about twice a month.
2. "They are still hyper from all of that Halloween Candy." Mentioned in mid-November.
3. "Oh, it is going to rain." Of course it will... and to piggyback "Because of all this rain, they haven't been out to recess in days."
4. "Christmas is coming!" Yes, in about 5 weeks people.
5. "They just need a day off." Right after Election Day & Early Release Day.
6. "Could you believe how hyper they were about a few snowflakes?" Yes, and so were you when you were under 10...in fact, I still get excited.
What this boils down do is this simple fact....kids will be crazy during all changes in weather, around any vacation days, during any phase of the moon, and in any month in which there is a holiday. So, can we please just accept the fact that kids are pretty bonkers no matter what. Let's face it, we were all kiddies once and yes, we were just as crazy. (Some of us still are...but those people will remain nameless!)
