Old Fashioned?

Maybe I am just old fashioned but there is nothing better than the innocence of a child. That is what I see each day that I have the pleasure of subbing. Jason started tutoring while at SFA but only worked with children during his year in Colorado Springs. He would share with me some of the stories from his students but my mind was focused on my pharmaceutical career. Now that I can focus on the kids, I understand when Jace use to say how cute they were, how much they want to learn, and how their excitement, joy, and energy provides the same back to you. Now I am not naive enough to believe I have much impact on the kids, nothing like the dedicated, experienced, and nurturing effect that their classroom teacher provides everyday. I do hope though that they realize that all adults really care when they are in school and that is the only role I strive to fulfill. Maybe my grandfather thought that in the past the world was going by too fast for I feel with the Internet, cellphones (constant texting), and all the game consoles that the kids really never shuts down. I tell all the 4Th, 5Th, and 6Th graders that the best way to learn is from books and the radio for they allow you to boot up the visual computer of your mind. Most of them look at me like I must have lost my mind. So I guess I am just old fashioned but extremely pleased that when I grew up books were my X-Box, the radio was my Internet, and outside was where I always wanted to be.
