I have a story: The following conversation occured when I was teaching 2nd grade.
student: Teacher, when is Christmas?
me: It's December 25th.
student: No, it's December 23rd.
me: No, JD, it's December 25th.
student: No, it's the 23rd. I know. It's the 23rd. (me thinking: If you think you know when it is, you little moron, why did you ask?)
me: (It is a Friday afternoon at 2:30. I am tired. Use your best exasperated voice as you read this.) JD, I am 32 years old. I have been around for 32 Christmases. I know that Christmas is on the 25th.
student: Oh, okay.
As for Cody and Hannah, I learned to just call all the boys 'Bubba' and all the girls "Sweetie". If they are Hispanic, 'mijo' and 'mija' work. The year I taught PE, I had a 3rd grade class that included: Kelsey, Casey, Kelly, Kenny, Kylie, Kayley, and Cody. Bubba and Sweetie worked just fine.
