Six year old kids don't believe in Santa? The ones who went home crying still believed.
"Six year old kids don't believe in Santa? The ones who went home crying still believed."
Could be. First lesson in reality for them, then. Lots more lessons like that coming, I'd guess. First grade is the time when lots of myths start to come apart for children. For the first time, they're hearing from folks who are supposed to be teaching them facts.
Santa is not a fact. Santa is a myth for toddlers. Had this teacher not told the real story of Santa, they'd have heard it anyhow within a year from their fellow students.
