The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

Never trust a child psychologistI used to teach English in Spain, and spent a couple of summers as a monitor on a summer camp in the mountains, teaching English and doig sports and stuff with Spanish kids aged 7 - 17.
There was an 8 year old called Bruno who started out by swearing at everyone and screaming when he didn't get his own way. He went on to putting his hand up the older girls' skirts and grabbing their tits if they had any. It didn't matter how violently the girls hit him, he always went back for more.
Turned out both his parents were child psychologists, and when his teacher/monitor told his parents what he'd been up to, they just said "We think it's important for him to express himself"
