Reading your post was inspiring. I think every child want to feel important,needed and educated. I'm sure you made this child's day by asking him to check everyone else assignment. After you told him thanks I'm sure that made him feel bigger than life. At that point this child was able to let you in his life and help him at school and at home. Way to go courtney.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908994596927228931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-32194579561952188962009-10-03T20:34:37.340-04:002009-10-03T20:34:37.340-04:00It truly is amazing how these kids respond to us a...It truly is amazing how these kids respond to us as their teachers. It's hard to even imagine sometimes what they are going through at home. I think sometimes I get frustrated when higher-ups in the school expect you to be right on target everyday, when in fact you have somedays in which moments like this arise. I think that when the students see that you care about them they begin to let you in. Many times we are the only positive adult figure in their lives. We are the only ones to be a role model for them and tell them what is right and wrong. I also think that when they begin to trust you as their teacher, then they are able to talk about what is going on in their life instead of keeping it inside all the time or making poor decisions. I think it's awesome that this student was able to take your advice and start to get back on track.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971751398278810340noreply@blogger.com
