This Teacher Asked Kids A Simple Question And Was Heartbroken After Hearing Their Answers

How sad. The country that wants to rule the world can't even have their children have pencils at home. Unbelievable! All the money goes to sending spaceships to find life on other planets or war in other countries.

What the kids appear to really be saying is I wish my teacher knew I was a whole person with a backstory and to please treat me accordingly. Understand my lack of effort may be due to stress and heartache and lack of resources as oppose to naughtiness laziness etc.

Almost all the stories here are heartbreaking...poor kids...but I also notice (as a mother)that these kids are 3rd grade and their english is terrible...Im sayin this just because I have to send my daughter to hospital because her writing is not that good and if I dont do so (even if I dont agree and I dont because she is lazy and not interested in writing)they will call child services...do they do that in US? she's a 3rd grader and very polite,shy and never made a problem in class...

:(

Tears almost came out when I was reading this note !!

Trump wants to make America great again and reunite you with your father

just one friend can change this!

How frightening for this little kid. Prayers.

Onion ninja smacked me straight in the face on this one..... I lost too many family members to some firm of cancer.

Finally a positive one!

even if mom is not around cause of work, this one is a concern

life hits us on an early age

Life in the U.S.A. is not at all the Amercian dream. Why people cannot live on just one salary? How shocking. What is wrong with your economy? Why do the citizens have to hold down Serval jobs at a time? I feel so sad for the average person living in the States, I hope that one day things will change and that works will not have to work in several places to keep food on the table.

When I was that age I knew that my teachers knew that I was being bullied but they didn't do anything about it, it's just not fare that I did walk funny because I had to wear a leg brace due to polio. Although now I have no regrets.

that one hit me. i can't imagine the teacher joy when he/she read that!

Aaawh

Future Bored Panda visitor!

Good, dont let it stop you!

the school should know this already

;(

heartbreaking!!!!

I wish my teacher knew that!And that I also become very focused when I draw stuff on the corners of my book

This one broke my heart.

It's hard to response on this one

This...is imposed on kids and people and makes us feel bad for not achieving our over-expectations

:(

im the opisite when stressed engh my body and mind shut it out causing well nt adention

that's the kind of stuff the teacher MUST know. my kid has it and the teacher know it. It MUST know that for adapt his teaching

You will, sweet child. You have the motivation of love to help you. Don't forget that being great doesn't mean being famous, greatness can be behind the scenes. My love to you little one.

He/she is NOT a suck up. I, for one, really enjoy school. So it is perfectly normal for someone to say that they like school. There is nothing wrong with it. So stop criticizing this student. They are just expressing their opinion. If they like school, they like school. Most of my friends actually like school. So to Elena Popowitch and Cairis Adams, every child has the right to like school. So if you didn't like school, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sorry you didn't have a decent childhood to make you decent people.

Happens to everyone at some point x

Me too..

I never understood teachers who blame students for asking questions...

if you're not doing well in school, your teacher would see your parent all the time, like I see my sons teacher. 😁

That broken heart...broke MY already aching heart.

wait, aren't these written by young children? that is very sad if such a young child knows so many people who want to kill themselves. I am one myself and know some others as well and I dont think young children should get involved in this too much, i dont think that is healthy

I see a lot of empathy in these kids... I wonder why it fades when we grow older :,(

You go and live your dream!

Aww baby, I feel you. Middle child out of 7, 5 are brothers, my parents divorced when I was 7 years old. Chin up baby, it gets better ❤️

I'm not sure this belongs here, but it's a valid concern.

It does sometimes and it will...eventually

awwh

Aawh that is so sweet :(. I am melting

it's sad to see that at this Young age kid already use the word Stress...

Cute!

Sweet kid, and I love the little annotation by the teacher. Get well soon Grandma!

Me too! More is not always better.

cheeky

Yes cast, it's probably a theater group or theater class

teachers supposed to celebrate birthdays with their kids. maybe this kid just write this cause he/she didn't think of anything else.
