Lost

Last night I was talking with an Australian who teaches Third Grade at a local International School. Recently the class was working on a module themed '"Lost and Found". They were given a writing tasks to create an advertisement or notice for something that had been lost. One girl's response was to write an ad for her mum.

The teacher checked with the student after class, gently questioning, "Is this your story?" The girl said that one day her mother walked out of the house and never came back. Her greatest desire is for her mother to be found.
