According to the Redditor, his wife teaches special education to sixth through eighth graders. On the Reddit thread, the teacher explained that they'll be reading the Harry Potter books as part of the curriculum, "I plan to implement fun activities as we go along in the book (one chapter per week). For example, when Harry gets his wand, we will make wands in my classroom. When they get sorted in the book, we will get sorted in real life. It'll be fun activities so it's not just another boring core class."

What's Your Favorite Quote About Being A Parent?

“Everything depends on upbringing.”

It would be impossible to encapsulate the experience of parenthood in one quote.

But some might get close.

Maybe Jodi Picoult perfectly described motherhood when she said, "Once you sign on to be a mother, [24/7] is the only shift they offer."

Or maybe it was Gail Tsukiyama's gentler take: “Mothers and their children are in a category all their own. There’s no bond so strong in the entire world. No love so instantaneous and forgiving.”

33 Things That SHOULD Have Happened On "Game Of Thrones"

“Brienne, Podrick and the Hound move into an apartment together, and thus a hit sitcom is born.” All of this is canon now.

1. Ned Stark says, "On second thought, let's not go to King's Landing. 'Tis a silly place." The Stark family then lives on forever.
2. Drogo learns about the wonders of Neosporin and maybe lives instead of dying from being too macho.
3. Jon Snow and Ygritte actually do stay in that cave and eventually die of too much sex.
4. Varys puts out a "Seriously, Don't Trust Littlefinger" PSA, saving countless lives.
5. Cersei drunkenly binge-watches Pretty Little Liars and starts sending threatening texts to Margaery signed "A."
6. Ned Stark starts using dad jokes on his daughters, including "Arya coming with me or not?" and "You're not making any Sansa!"
7. Littlefinger is magically transported to Baltimore, Maryland, where he runs for mayor.

8. Syrio Forel continues to train Arya and the two become masked vigilantes in King's Landing.
9. Joffrey goes hunting and, like his "father," is also killed by a boar.
10. The boar is actually Tyrion in disguise.
11. Stannis tells Melisandre to shove it and actually listens to the advice of his most trusted fucking lieutenant for once.
12. Stannis does basically none of the things that he actually did thus far.
13. Except for his grammatical corrections, which lead him to start a Twitter account in which he just shames people for confusing "less" and "fewer."
