Teacher Discovers Shocking Cause Of Student's Concerning Behavior
Kindergarten teacher Nancy Bleuer practically spent more time huddled over children's books or cleaning up craft stains than she did resting at home. She knew she was put on Earth to be of service to others, and that’s part of why she became a kindergarten teacher. Guiding kids through their formidable years was 60 hours per week well spent. Still, she never expected her job would thrust her into the middle of a life-of-death situation.
Camden’s Secret
One of Miss Nancy's pupils was a 4-year-old named Camden Peterson. A bright, energetic, and social kid, he carried a secret with him that not even the intuitive Miss Nancy could figure out. The secret bothered him. It scared him. And whether or not he knew it, he always wore it on his sleeve. He never spoke about his situation, however. At least, not directly.
Someone Noticed
One day at school, Nancy Bleuer noticed something was wrong with her student. Camden was acting strange, silent, and reclusive. Was he sick? Was something wrong at home? Was he feeling out of place? She was intent on getting to the bottom of it, so she monitored him carefully.
Pulling Him Aside
After days turned into weeks with no improvement on Camden’s part, Nancy asked if they could talk in private. She didn't want to single him out in front of the other kids, and she was relieved when he said yes. They went to an empty corner of the room, and the truth poured out.
Not Him
Nancy was worried. Camden was demonstrating telltale signs of a kid with a rotten home life. Her dedication to her students didn't stop in the classroom, so she carefully coaxed the truth out of her pupil. He was hesitant to speak at first, but after some careful guidance and effort, he confessed.
