I teach children how to not drown. In an hour of classes, this is what happened.
children are currently obsessed with dabbing. Rather than keeping their faces out of the water and using their arms to tread, they’d rather dab and sink. So they dabbed. They sank.
the epitome of ‘cool’ is to shout Justin Trudeau’s name in the middle of a dab while jumping into the pool.
Justin Trudeau is the coolest person alive, according to this group of third graders.
Huggie time is a thing, even in the water in the middle of the deep end. (You can try to keep them away with head pats but they will swarm you and inadvertently try to sink you.)
Calling your schoolteacher mom is also a thing.
Everyone dabs. you can’t stop them. Nothing will stop them.
I learned a lot about children today.
