Gotta Love it!

Yesterday, Mia's teacher came to school sick and then went home early. A couple of other teachers had available time at the beginning of the day to take over her class, but the last couple of hours, no one was available. They don't hire substitute teachers (because it costs a lot of money and it would be a waste of time for the kids), so what do they do? They send the kids home! I was surprised after my class to find that Mia had made her way home. She knew I was in class, so she called Bryan to tell him that she was home safely. The old me would be have been livid about the scenario, but here it really makes sense. Why should the kids basically be "babysat" with a substitute teacher, when they all can function as responsible kids and make their way home alone. Gotta love it!!!  *this happened several times with Bailey and Camden in the Gymnasium, but was the first time here for Mia - so funny!
