Kids in Ms. Colman's Class #4 - Second Grade Baby

Sep 23, 2012 03:48

With a title like that, you know this is going to be Natalie's book. Sigh. (Also, does the title remind anyone else of that book called Fourth Grade Rats? First grade babies/second grade cats/third grade angels/fourth grade RATS!!! No? No one remembers that but me, huh?)

The dedication reads This book is for Kate Gibbel. No further detail is ( Read more... )

I NEVER understood what the big issue was with nametags, and I still don't. In Lower and Middle School, it was strongly advised to have nametapes in your school uniform and P.E kit (although it wasn't a rule) and it saved SO much trouble, at least for the children whose parents did put the nametapes in. Why is it considered babyish? I still lose clothes and I'm 19! (Anecdote: I was staying in a backpackers hostel this summer. The only place to dry stuff was on the roof and because most of the people there were girls in their early twenties, we all had similarish clothes. Nametags wouldve saved so much trouble when it came to taking our clothes down.)

Poor Natalie: stuck in a world of weirdly sock-obsessed people. I've never once pulled up my socks because I cant bear the feeling of anything around my ankles (thank god for trainer-socks) and it seems like the strangest thing to pick up on. Natalie and I wouldve clearly been stoneybrook outcasts together.

Final point: has anyone ever thought of writing a fanfiction where all the hated-on kids get together and rebel against the BSC dictatorship?

Yeah, I don't quite understand why everyone's so obsessed with Natalie's socks. Who the hell notices anyone else's socks?!

I don't even WEAR socks, unless it's winter (I take them right off when I get inside a building though) or I'm wearing my kawaii socks to go with a kawaii-style outfit.

In AMM World, I must be the devil!

i dont think AMM couldve contemplated not wearing socks. I mean, how else is everyone supposed to judge your worth as a person, if not by the height of your socks?
My theory is that since all anyone pays attention to in stoneybrook is socks, theyve taken one look at Karens very un-droopy socks and decided to judge her soley on that, allowing them to ignore what a bitch she actually is. Hence everyone excusing Karens behaviour book after book- theyre too dazzled by how high her socks are pulled....

If you're the devil, I must be the super-devil, since I don't wear socks...ever. :)
