HAMILTON, ON – Thursday morning at the Hamilton Elementary School for Gifted Children, kindergarten teacher Greg Schwartz compared the death of student Marisa Jackson’s puppy to his divorce from Kathy.
“Life is a cold mistress, kind of like Kathy,” Schwartz told the six-year-old. “One second you have an adorable puppy with a promising life together ahead of you. Then, before you know it, Kathy takes your puppy, along with your two children, and most of your liquid assets and moves to Toronto with an insurance agent named Bruce.”
Kindergartner Alan Marrero later admitted to seeing Schwartz “crying a lot,” after a class reading of The Little Engine that Could. “We got to the part where the engine says, ‘I think I can, I think I can,’ and he just broke down. He said he had something in his eyes, but we knew. I mean we’re six, but we knew.”
