7 What’s new at the school?

On the first day without the Grade Bunch, INC., the kids noticed that the sky was a sparkling blue and that the sun shined down as it had never shown before.  The teachers seemed to be lighter and more relaxed — they had smiles for the children and walked around as if a great weight had been lifted from their shoulders. The children, too, were happy and began using phrases like “I can” rather than “I can’t” or “I don’t know.”
