When I asked why he did such thing, he said "I don't like her." I asked as to why, then all he came up with was "She is smelly." I became furious and felt like crazy trying not to laugh with his response. But see? At this early age, they really do know how to discriminate and actually do something bad about it. I would be lying if I say I don't do name-calling.. even with my students, even more with them around (in tagalog of course). I don't know if he just came up with that response so he can give me his excuse of hurting a friend. But it was, in all seriousness, terrible to see how much kids think and talk just because adults nowadays influence kids more on negative traits than the good ones. The next day, the girl who we all thought broke her arm, came hopping and skipping inside our assembly area with her hands swinging all about. And that's another issue there to talk about.. kids acting out too much, just as the same as lying. x_X Just two days ago, a student of mine pushed his classmate, who at that time we all thought has broke her arm.
