Really - Kids Are Kids!

I’m Finland visiting schools with a delegation from Delaware and all over the United States. 

So today I was in a computer classroom and talked to three boys in 8th grade who were supposed to be looking up careers.  Instead, I noticed they were on Facebook and on a website that had some profanity. The teacher didn’t see.  The boys spook very good English.  I asked if I could take their picture.  They were happy to pose for me.

I asked if they were supposed to be on Facebook.  They smiled and said no, but retorted, “We are badassed!”

I so got it!  These were kids just like my kids in,my classroom, sometimes off task, sometimes irreverent, and just so real. I felt right at home.
