Eugene Fields Jr.'s Blog: "The Prince And Mr. Breezy's Class"
January 6, 2022
Sound Interesting?
Young Prince Manny loves living in the Kingdom of Crownington with his family. His father, King Immanuel, is a superhero in Manny's eyes. They spend tons of time together. The king even home schools his son. That's pretty awesome! Who gets home schooled by a king? Can you image that?
Well, anyway, today is a special day. Prince Manny is now a 4th grader and his father believes that he is ready to attend school with other kids. Manny's excitement suddenly turns to disappointment when he discovers that he is not attending Crownington Elementary. He will be attending Flatbread Elementary which is in a whole different kingdom. Manny is confused and sort of sad, but he's learned to trust his father, even when things don't make since.
At Flatbread Elementary School, Prince Manny is just Manny, the new kid. He quickly notices that this new school isn't as nice or as clean as the schools in the Kingdom of Crownington. And, the students aren't as friendly, they don't do their school work, nor do they show respect for their teachers. Mr. Breezy, Manny's new teacher, gets no respect at all. I mean, NO RESPECT! But, he's such a nice a man. Anyway, Manny experienced bullying, peer pressure and he even had a bad experience with the mean principal who tells a lot of lies for some reason. Now I know why his name is Dr. Lyalot. This school is out of control, especially Mr. Breezy's 4th grade class. So, obviously, one of two things is going to happen. Either Manny is going to be changed by this new environment and join in with the chaos, or, the environment will be made better because Manny chose to stay true to his father's advice and be a good example for the other students. I wonder what happened?...And, more importantly, I wonder what YOU would do if you were the new kid...in Mr. Breezy's Class?
