The life of a teacher

Children are brutally honest. I recently got my hair cut and was prepared for the honest to goodness truth from all 600 kids that I teach. Here are some of the things said and overheard:

"Hey, look at Miss Yau. She looks different."
"She did her hair different."
"No, she got a haircut."
"Miss Yau, you got a haircut."
"I like your haircut." to which another student responds...
"I liked it better long."
"Yeah you should have kept it long."

If you're having a bad hair day, just know they'll all tell you.

So speaking of hair, the first week of school we get news that 3 kids in the school have LICE. Just talking about it, thinking of it makes my head get itchy. I bet your head's feeling a little itchy right now!! I end up paranoid all day scratching my head and I look like I have a nervous tick. It reminds me of Lion King when the hyenas shutter at the name Mufasa..... LICE (scratch, scratch) LICE (scratch, scratch)
