Catholic Schools Week, now mercifully over, has “Teacher Appreciation Day” to wrap it up, and in addition to the nice lunch we got yesterday, I was handed a stack of written notes from students. A couple of them were more form-style, like you’d see on a Hallmark card, but many were heartfelt.
I was touched. Especially for a subject that many kids groan about having to take. But this is why a big part of what I do in class is relationship building and life lessons. Those bonds are worth more to so many of these kids, even though most of them will not remember a good chunk of what I taught in class on any given day.
And that’s ok.
Why? Because I love my students.
"You are THAT guy!"
