A parent writing an email saying you changed their child’s life & they can’t thank you enough.
That’s why being a teacher is awesome.”

“Today: A student walked in late and instead of interrogating the kid about his whereabouts and where an excuse was, the principals and secretary asked him the following:
- “Did you eat? Are you hungry?”
- “Are you okay?”
- “Is there anything we can do for you?”
This is caring.”
