Let us never forget that we teach people and not JUST a subject.
Good Morning,
This is New to Ellijay, Students mother.
I just want to extend a great big Thank You!
He is NOT interested in school at all, but he continues to push on day after day b/c of you and your class. He is very fond of you and talks about you daily. You are an Angel from God in my eyes.
He's had a pretty rough life, but things are looking up for us since we moved to Ellijay. This is a great town and I am very pleased with the community.
I am having some troubles with him here at home. I was wondering if you might be able to assist with this by communicating with him on some of the issues.. You are the only one he looks up to (male figure) and I guess it doesn't hurt to ask right?
In any event, thank you so much for being such an awesome teacher and role model. We are blessed to have you in the school.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks,
New to Ellijay
Ken i am so glad that i read what you wrote. You are so right when you say that we teach students and not a subject. I think that many teacher forget that we are molding young people for life in the real world. I am going into my 2nd yr of teaching this year i have noticed that students watch everything you do. The students that you think are not listen are the main student that are watching you every move. Ken this note that you received from this parent is what make you say this is what teaching is all about.
