Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

I think most children repeat (often out of context) everything they hear. I would immagine that a 7yr saying that Jesus is "only pretend" is just her way of feeling important and grown up - she has...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.
