Culture Shock 121

It's been quite awhile since I've written about a culture shock. I have recently thought of a couple things that are different here in Mississippi than California as we just got back from a recent trip.
I've been subbing here in Mississippi.  It feels great to be back in a classroom. I subbed for a couple years in my home town and even at my high school alma mater. 2 very different experiences!
This is a picture of where I have been subbing. A shelf has even been made for their backpacks! I was amazed at the trust the kids displayed as they placed their backpacks down.
Nope to the double nope in California! I had my bag stollen twice in elementary school. By the time I got to jr. high, my backpack never left my side!
I love the ease of trust and general lack of not thinking the worst as we raise our boys in Mississippi!
