The biggest challenge a preschool teacher had with her new students getting used to going to school was insisting on NO baby talk in the classroom. “You need to use big people words. Now, John, what did you do over the weekend?” I went to visit Nana.” “No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER! Use big people words!” Then she asked Mitchell. “I took the choo choo!” “No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. Use big people words!” Then she asked little Johnny. “I read a book.” “That’s WONDERFUL! What book did you read?” Johnny thought, puffed out his chest, and proudly said, “Winnie the sh*t”
