I told my son this and he could apparently expound on it. I am embarrassed to admit that I couldn’t follow his train of thought haha

I learned from a book that my daughter got at her library that there was no grass in dinosaur times.

Undisciplined

so you swagger to pick him up at his school like a boss

People will jump on any bandwagon that gets sold to them confidently enough. My son has convinced his whole classroom that I own Hunt Brothers Pizza. I have no idea where that came from.

The internet democratized knowledge and kids embraced it first. Instead of fighting it, you’re riding the wave with them. That humility is what makes great educators.

Bedtime Story #4

When you are a PSLE teacher, *every day* brings about new revelations.

In this day and age, with the Internet so *prevalent* / *commonly occurring*, teachers no longer have the authority on the answers.

Before assembly, I eagerly flaunted my newfound knowledge to 6RY students, declaring sagely that crabs and lobsters moult. Several students piped up to add that not only do lizards moult, but spiders also do likewise. As a humble person, I did not *brush aside* / *disregard* / *ignore* their remarks but checked Google instead. Lo and behold! They were right! 

During English class, a student came forward to ask me if the sentence “Despite Mary practising her speech every day, she was nervous when speaking on stage.” I was skeptical that we could use a subject directly after ‘despite’, but decided that a quick Google search wouldn’t hurt. Lo and behold! My student was right!

Children have *broken free* / *escaped* from the stranglehold adults have on knowledge. As a humble person, I should *urge* / *encourage* my students to share their knowledge. This will empower my repertoire to grow *immensely* / *very big in size*.
