Alright so, as teachers we have rules we have to follow, and the Lead Person of the Teachers is a friend of mine, she’s really sweet. She has to check in on us sometimes during class, but it’s all part of the protocol and she usually just takes a peek in the window to make sure we’re not on fire or something. 

So a few weeks ago, we were explaining saints to the 2nd graders, and how Catholics believe that saints can look down from heaven and see what’s going on on earth. Our example saint for the day was the recently canonized Mother Teresa.

Unfortunately, as we were explaining this to the children... our Lead Teacher Person popped her head against the window to check in and make sure we were doing ok.

Several of the students are now completely convinced that our Lead Teacher is Mother Teresa and she watches them always.

After the realization that my second graders are actually not as smart as I first perceived them to be, I have NO FREAKING CLUE what to teach them that won't go over their heads. I can't tell if I just use big words, or if the real problem is the language barrier. I think I'm going to start assigning homework.

Massachusetts after-school program binds children to church

A little after 3 p.m. on a Thursday, children in grades three through eight begin dashing through the doorway of an old red brick convent behind St. Mary’s Church in Waltham, Mass., having finished their days at nearby public schools. Lugging backpacks and wearing shorts and T-shirts, they have arrived for religious education — although you wouldn’t know it, just by looking at them during the next couple of hours.
