You just never know how kids are going to take things. I've been student teaching -- I want to teach lower-grades, 1-3, but in this program they start you out for a few weeks in the grades you don't want, for experience. So I was in a fifth grade class for a couple of months. I let slip that I really wanted to teach younger kids, and it was a huge problem. The fifth graders took it personally, some of them, thought I didn't like them. Caused no end of trouble. I sure learned a lesson.
