Here is one good thing. A kleenex monster face student.
Also, an email from a parent…
***
thank you… …for not only your kind words on (Student)’s behalf, but also for the substance of your final note to (Student’s brother) two years ago this June…I have earned a living in education and have salvaged, to a degree, a murky vision of the purity of emerging selfhood…it is rare to encounter an educator so in tune with the true purpose of education and with so firm a grasp on how motivation helps to shape priority…with a firm handshake, I offer my humble gratitude and deep respect…
[The final note he is referring to is the senior letter I write each year.]
