You don’t just need to worry about what you did as a teenager. You need to worry about what you did as an 8 year old.
Stephen Miller’s 3rd grade teacher is speaking out. She wants you to know that he was a loner who ate glue.
Do you remember that character in Peanuts, the one called Pig Pen, with the dust cloud and crumbs flying all around him? That was Stephen Miller at 8. I was always trying to get him to clean up his desk — he always had stuff mashed up in there. He was a strange dude. I remember he would take a bottle of glue — we didn’t have glue sticks in those days — and he would pour the glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it.
“He was a weird dude.” – a teacher describing an 8-YEAR-OLD OMG.
Might as well confess: I too let glue dry on my arm just to peel it off. I didn’t eat it, but obviously I’m still some kind of psycho.
His former teacher went on to say that she was concerned about him but “not academically.” Although he had terrible handwriting, she says.
But he had such strange personal habits. He was a loner and isolated and off by himself all the time.
At the end of the year, I wrote all my concerns — and I had a lot of them — in his school record. When the school principal had a conference with Stephen’s parents, the parents were horrified. So the principal took some white-out and blanked out all my comments. I wish I could remember what I wrote, but this was 25 years ago. I’ve taught a lot of third-graders since then. Of course, Stephen wasn’t political then — it wasn’t until later that he started to make waves.
I just can’t believe this is an ACTUAL TOPIC OF DISCUSSION. Elementary-aged kids do weird things. They’re kids.
We used to joke about how the left would soon be all, “BREAKING NEWZ: *Insert Conservative Here* CUT THE LUNCH LINE In 4th Grade.” But now? That’s not even a stretch.
You better hope your elementary teachers don’t remember you. Otherwise, you’re screwed.
