Sometimes I forget that teaching is a long game. You try and plant the seeds and hope those seeds grow, but you don‘t usually get to see it because the students grow up and move on. Our time is so limited. They came back today to help out. Some have been gone for years! Two of the most gifted students we have ever taught, who are at one of the most selective high schools in the city, said freshman English is easy b/c we prepared them so well. 👇
AmyG That is a great compliment. 7y
ElishaLovesBooks That might be the best compliment my co- teacher and I have ever received. Other students were repeating back to me words of advice I gave them years ago- they really WERE listening! Days like this are what gets me through the rough days when the challenges feel insurmountable. #TeachingMatters #ThisIsOurFuture 7y

BiblioTori I love this!! One of my closest friends is my 8th grade social studies/literacy class teacher! We‘re still swapping books. She‘s since adopted two children and switched to teaching high school, but I love going to visit her when I can. 7y
Kaye I think being a teacher would be one of the most rewarding careers. Sometimes a teacher may be the only good role model a kid has. You might really change their lives in some important way. 🍎 Apple for the teachers in the group. 7y
