First Day of School

I love the enthusiasm my kids have on the first day of school.  They get up on time, put on their new clothes, eat breakfast, and are ready to head out the door at least 15 minutes early.  I only wish they had that kind of enthusiasm for the other 200+ days of school.
I also anxiously wait for them to run through the door to find out how their day went - you just never know.
Today I was so excited...When I asked how their day was both of them shouted "It was the best day EVER!  My teacher is the COOLEST!" 
Why is their teacher the "Coolest"?  Britton's teacher jokes around a lot, gives "fun" homework if homework at all, doesn't give homework on Friday, tells a lot of stories, they only have to read 10 minutes in English each day and 10 minutes in Spanish each day, and he was in the army so "if we ever have a lock down, he can protect us".
Gavin's teacher is really nice, gave him gummie bears, he only picked up his pencil maybe twice today, and didn't give them homework.
