Episode notes

This podcast is a reminder to all early childhood educators that children are often greatly impacted by their words, especially if those words are a remonstrance. Tell Me What Happened guest, Kelley Gessner, recalls being wrongfully accused as a first grader of "making a ruckus" during quiet reading time. The actual culprit, a fellow student in her reading pod, points at Kelley and the teacher believes her. Kelley is devastated at having to take a "time out" and further remembers meeting the teacher years later.
