A True Story From The Educational Frontlines

One of my colleagues told the most outrageous story over lunch today. The frightening thing is that it was true.

It isnÂ’t unusual to have pregnant girls in class at our school. One girl in my colleagueÂ’s class is getting very close to giving birth, and so has begun reading up on how to care for her baby. Today she said the following to this colleague.

“Mr. C., I keep reading that breast milk is better for babies than regular milk, but I can’t find out where to get it or how much it costs.”

I understand that my colleague handled the question with much more tact than I would have been able to.
