Vitamin R

I didn't know there was Vitamin R already.

 

Kids in third grade haven't learned
the ins and outs of being truly snarky,
tender-hearted still, of the opinion that
the teacher really does know everything.
Bottle that, you'd make a fortune.
Every district, every school would have
it in the water fountains or perhaps as additive
to lunchroom juice or milk. Vitamin R. Respect.
How refreshing would that be to all
the staff and teachers who go home each
night wiped out by dealing with at
least a few kids in each class, throughout
an entire day, who think they have the
answers, or know that you do not?
