The Most Important Part

My 7th grade class are the best kids that ever lived. Really. Individually and as a class, they are fan-freaking-tastic. My 6th graders are sweet but blah (except for 3) and my 8th graders, well, I love them, but they drive me bananas.

But my 7th graders. Man. First of all, every single one of them watched Barack Obama's acceptance speech. We spent half an hour today talking about it. Thousands of questions. What are democrats? What are republicans? Why are they so mean to each other? Do I have to be one?

And of course, Tyonna pipes in,

"Okay, so, do they like, change the sheets and stuff when a new president comes in? Because that would be gross if they didn't. I'm just sayin'."
