Yesterday my students came to school talking about the election. Honestly, I hadn't spent much time on it before election day (things have just been kind of crazy). So when this political conversation was student driven, I was pretty excited.
The kids were saying, "Obama won! Obama won!" So I asked "What does that mean - Obama won?" (Hoping someone would say something like,'He got more votes' or 'He gets to be president again.'
Instead, the first little boy I called upon answered happily, "That means we don't have to go back to Mexico!"
I almost fell out of my chair.
