I'm the coolest fourth grade teacher ever!!!

How many other elementary school teachers do you know out there have students talk to you about their relationship problems? None? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Like I mentioned in a previous post, I made a special email account to chat to my students whenever I'm bored at home (and sadly, I get more conversations on that then I do when I sign on to my regular account). Anyway, I think I might've stirred up some trouble. Here's the story:

For a while, I thought T liked M, and I heard T wanted to ask M to the dance. In class, I told T earlier during the school year that I'll try my best to hook him up with her for the dance. Tonight, I was talking to M online and asked if she would be interested in going to the dance with T. She thinks for a while, and says maybe...

On another chat conversation, S (M's friend) tells me that T actually likes D. S tells me that T told D he liked her during P.E. one day. All this was mentioned to me after I asked M about T. I now find out that there's a love triangle going on because T likes D, and J also likes D as well. Just to make class interesting in January, I told S that I'm going to have a seating arrangement where both J and T sit next to D (and I can also make fun of them as well).

So, there you have it. When the dance actually rolls around in March, things will definitely become interesting. Like any good teacher-friend, I told my students that I'll do my best to hook them up. I bet you didn't have that kinda experience in elementary school huh?
