I always thought this would happen at a bar.
I have just inadvertently found kids I used to teach on the interwebz. This is what happens when you add those former co-workers who were the extra nice, over-involved type of teachers to your friends list -- they have the former student hookup.

Kids from my first class are in HIGH SCHOOL, apparently. I had lost track. They have profile pictures where they are kissing people. And, you know, good for them. Apparently my no-kissing-it-spreads-germs policy back in the day did not adversely affect them.

I am sure that, thankfully, they will not seek me out -- what teenager cares about talking to their first grade teacher? I'm just glad they are alive, jubilant, enrolled in some form of school, and computer literate. And I can continue to be glad from afar.

OMG old.

I feel the same way sometimes when I talk to the people in class I'm teaching. They were all born in the early 90s!
