From Angela on Monday, February 1st:
So this morning during homeroom I cried. Right there in the room with
all 30 of my 7th graders. And they were good tears. I cried because a
student I had last year had submitted a gratitude note to be read on the
morning announcements and it was how grateful he was for me. He said
that I make JBMS a safe place to be and that I teach all of my students
more than English. It was the sweetest thing. I think I cried because of
his words and the email I got yesterday from a former student now
living in Texas who said he learned so much in my class that he was now
taking high school English classes in 8th grade. Some days I barely make
it out of the school alive. Some days I wonder if I teach them anything
at all. And then some days I cry because of reminders like these from
two of my boys. Today was a good day.

I cry tears of joy today too, but that was because my students remembered to put their names on their homework. But your reason is more meaningful I guess

I think it's those moments when prior students come back to Debbie's room to give her a hug and excitedly tell her how they're doing that keep Deb going. I've witnessed this countless times, and sometimes it's hard for me not to get misty-eyed too. The both of you are REAL teachers, in the best sense of the word, teaching how to be human.
