As Mrs.Thompson stood in front of class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth.Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, back his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddart.

 Mrs.Thompson watched Teddy, noticing that he did not play well with other children, his clothes were dirty, and that he constantly needed a bath.Besides, Teddy could be unpleasant.It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson actually took delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X’s and then putting a big “F” at the top of his papers.
