“Quote, UnQuote”
“Kids really do say and do the darndest things, some adults too!”

The anecdotes included in this book contain dialogue from students and co-workers that span twenty-seven and a half years. Some entries are humorous and heartwarming and depict the real innocence of youth. Some entries may spark unpleasant or uncomfortable emotions. However you view the entries, just know that there is always a lesson we can learn from a child. Their innocence is refreshing even when we do not always appreciate the context in which it was delivered. I implore readers to offer an encouraging prayer for all teachers and the students entrusted into their care.
