Note from a Second Grader
Between 1978-1986, I was a teacher and, later, a children’s librarian. I wrote the children notes and they wrote back to me.
A devastating fire wiped out most everything in my apartment in January 2016. I’ve been working through smoky documents that were salvaged, and found notes from the children that I had saved.
Bullying today seems nastier and more viral due, in part, to social media. When I discovered this note, I asked a few people, if Karla had taken their pencil, what would they have done? What would they recommend to Rachel, the sweet second grader who wrote this note.
What would you have done (as a second grader)? What would you suggest to Rachel?
