I just got an email from a former student of mine from 2003 who said my class was the only part of high school that didn’t suck (which made me sad she had such a rough time). And then I ran across this dedication in a book I just picked up. So I am thinking about how teaching is often a thankless job—especially lately and especially in Florida—and wanted to say to anyone who’s teaching:
1) sometimes kids thank you later
2) thanks for helping kids through the rough time they’re all having now

@kevinhearne Years ago I hired an immigrant. He worked for a few years and then he moved on to bigger and better things. Fast forward a few years. The secretary came back to tell me there was someone to see me. It was a young lady. The young lady handed me a book and said this is for you. I looked and it was a thesis in chemistry. She said I made the book possible because I gave her father a job. Yes, the young lady was the daughter of the immigrant I gave a job to.
