Despite having a couple of friends who are teachers, I sometimes forget just how much gratitude they deserve. But then I will catch some vignette from their work that will remind me just what amazing things many of them are doing. Last night at a dinner party, a teacher for emotionally disturbed kids said that her favorite student, who is on an hourly point reward system, got a really high score, a 97. He came up to her and said, “l got a 97 today and I didn’t even try to stab nobody!” She said, “that’s right, you did a really good job today.” Even as she recounted the story you could see the pride written across her face.
