Memo from the Principal: Children Don't Steal
We are in a meeting with the principal, Mrs. Tipover. I forget how, but the topic of students' telling one story and teacher's telling another comes up. Mrs. Tipover has an anecdote:
"You have to know how to talk to kids! I had a little sixth grade boy in my office, and a girl had accused him of stealing her book. I said, 'Billy, did you steal Kesha's book?' And he said no. So I said, 'Billy, do you know where Kesha's book is?' And he said yes. 'Where?' I asked. He said, 'In my locker.' He didn't even know he had stolen it!!"
