I am an assistant principal in a middle school (grades 6-8). When I have to search a student's cell phone, I often get sick to my stomach at what I find. It gets worse and worse every year.
Being a grown-up sucks. But hiding isn’t much fun either. So Friday, I decided on a middle ground. I was going to spend my day living as if I were a child.
“I heard my daughter crying in her crib as I repeated over and over, ‘She will never remember me,’ and began a dialogue into my husband's phone that I prayed she would never have to hear."
