Christy collected the chipped writing tablets from the desks along with the now miniature pieces of chalk as the giggles, conversations and a few arguments from the students filled outside the school. It was an uneventful school day, and though with this group it was never boring, today it did come close. Christy chuckled to herself knowing she should be happy for something normal and non-stressful for once. Not like the time two weeks ago when Otter Ball O'Teele got into an argument with his older brother Smith and ended up being pushed through the glass window. Or like her very first days teaching and having the roster, a simple task take nearly all day leaving little time to learn anything. She smiles again at the smile victorys of patience granted to a teacher of nearly forty students.
