Ah, I see. That must be very difficult to deal with.

The little ones are adorable Angie, but different people just like different age groups.
I could never spend a whole day with little ones. They're too dependent for me, but that's just me.

You can tell a class of high school students that they're annoying you and had better keep the noise down. You can't do that to little ones! They'll cry if you tell them they're annoying you.

I love when I have the middle schoolers with special needs - they are so excited about life!

I am just getting crotchety lately - too many things on my plate. Plus my expectations of myself with small fry are pretty big - I loved having gangs of kids at our house all the time - but I can't do it anymore.

But it's the high school kids who cheat and the college kids who don't care that really get me down.

Now I am more established in this field I can pick and choose my students sometimes - such a treat.
