My sister is a teacher and the school would usually put children who have a hard time sitting still or “misbehaving” into her class, because she knew how to handle them and it wasn’t a strain on her as it was on other teachers that couldn’t handle them.
She had seats at their desks that can move side to side and she said it never bothers her if they need to stand up as long as they didn’t disrupt the other kids or her teaching. She just has a way with all different types of kids, it’s really remarkable. She does fun things with the class and they can be silly and laugh, but she also doesn’t take any crap from them but teaches them about right & wrong choices. The kids love her, she can be a little strict at times when it’s needed but she does it in a way that isn’t mean or makes them scared of her (does that make sense?).
She has summer camps (multiple classes) all summer long, she rarely has any time off from school. Everyone of her camps gets filled to the max every single year and she’s been doing this for probably like 10 years.
You are right she does, she calls them her kids, and she gets to watch them grow up all the way to graduation (it’s a private school, pre-k - 12th, but have different divisions, she’s in lower division with you younger kids). She absolutely loves her job though it does take a lot out of her at times. You know teachers spend a ton of their own time at school getting their rooms ready, cleaning & lesson planning, etc.
She is far from Illinois, she’s never even been there before.

There's an old saying, "when you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life."
Sidenote: Imma take a stab in the dark and guest that she sees the kids in her classes and camps as "hers" ? lol.
Also, tell her to stay away from Crystal Lake, Illinois, lmao.

lol, I had a feeling. The best teachers usually see their students as their own kids.
btw, the crystal lake thing is a Friday the 13th reference, I was being a dumbass, lol.
