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 High school is generally a rough time for everyone, and any teacher that provides a sanctuary is a blessing. I’ve written to those who stood out in my memory, even 30 years later (the alumni center forwarded my letters) and the response I got showed me how meaningful it was. As an ece educator no one tends to remember me later but I know how important Yet unrecognized it is what all teachers do
