I'm an elementary school teacher in a low income district. I work with upper elementary students. I teach English and math.
Teachers should carefully choose books that are in their classroom libraries. However, teachers should not monitor every book that a student chooses from their classroom library. In my opinion, parents should not be notified about every book their child is reading. It would be incredibly time consuming, considering that many students in second grade can read 2 - 4 books a day!
There isn't a way.... we know EVERYTHING.... ;) Seriously, put the phone away. It's good for you to have a little technology detox, I promise.
I can't identify one specific thing, to be honest. I have wanted to teach for as long as I can remember. I used to line up my stuffed animals and siblings and pretend to play school. I always loved being a student, and still enjoy taking classes. I think I have a deep love of learning and sharing knowledge. I also really like being around kids. They keep me young!
Sometimes, but more often it's just to put a little fun into the day or pass the time while we wait for something for a few minutes.

The very worst moment was when a student of mine was taken out of school in the middle of the day to be told that his parents had both overdosed and died. He never came back, he was sent to live with relatives several hours away. He cried hysterically, clung to me, and was literally ripped away from me. That hurts to this day.
I think your best bet is just to be truthful and honest with your teacher. If they don't believe you, there isn't much you can do anyway. I do think the bus driver was wrong to throw it away on you, they could have resolved it differently. I hope it works out for you!
