Oh, thank you for that. I have tears, really. I guess that is what keeps you coming back isn't it?! You are such a good teacher, Jane. Really!

This post definitely made me smile. It made me remember why I used to teach and why I do the work I do now. I work at a university of open admissions that to many is their last chance to get an education. I heard similar voices in your post. Keep up the great work and keep on blogging. I am looking forward to the next half of sayings. BTW, I came here from the Education Wonks and the Carnival of Education.
