Such a powerful scene. It reminds me of my latest book obsession, Okay For Now, by Gary D. Schmidt... some of the same lessons in that book. I highly recommend it!T.

It might have been nice to pass these sentiments on at a staff meeting recently, when teachers all groaned at the return of a student after 12 months at another school. He was just 12 when he left, and said some disappointing things about the school. But I hope he get's a fresh start.

It is important to remember that all kids (even the college students I teach) want to be valued for who they are. Thanks for making me remember this.<br /><br />Laurie FowlerLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771389005729284889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-23424418524851060962011-09-08T13:49:21.176-04:002011-09-08T13:49:21.176-04:00Your comments are spot on as always.

I asked my students to fill out a quick survey after the first day and one girl wrote "I am not really good in science and math, but if you give me a chance I really am a hard worker." How many of her teachers have written her off because of the grades she has earned on a few tests? What really scares me is this girl believes it about herself.
