Floodgates

Today, as I was calling roll one of the 2nd graders wanted to share how his mom and dad fight all the time and yell at each other. This led to about 10 other kids wanting to share. Each one had some tale of how their parents fight and even hit each other. The last one even shared that his big sister said that she wanted to kill their dad because he puts bruises on thier mom's arms. By the end, I was crying and it was a real bonding moment for the class because they all had so many problems. I teach DRAMA!
