I work in a world where napkins with notes trump blackberries and laptops. Where Hannah Montana is Queen of All and recess is revered. Like the real world, you’ve got your overachievers and your under-enthusiasts. Your criers and your tough guys. The know-it-alls and the slackers. The difference, however, is that here, a good trade does not involve high-yield stocks or bonds, but an Oreo two-pack in exchange for Flaming Hot Cheetos. Mechanical pencils and putty erasers are as impressive in this world as Christian Louboutin shoes or a Lamborghini may be in yours. Get ready, because what you’re about to hear are the (true) confessions of a 5th grade teacher…..
