1. What's with all the 'Bad guys turn good' comments?

I find it hard to believe that that many children could separately come up with that idea unless it was pre-planted.
Oh, and who decides what makes a "bad guy" and a "good guy" (ex: most people think the VPOTUS is a 'good guy'. Cheney was VPOTUS. Is he a "good guy"?)

2. Maybe the teacher gave them a list of things they could

write? They are only in first grade, so they probably need some guidance in their writing.
