On the last day of the school year, I received many cards and letters from students with beautiful, hilarious, and occasionally insightful messages.
This year, I received a card from a student that said this:
“I think the reason you’re such a great teacher is that you are basically the child version of yourself. You grew up and got old, but not all the way. You’re like a big, responsible. smart kid. So you still know what it’s like to be a kid.”
I would like to think that I am an effective teacher for reasons that go beyond my possible immaturity, but rarely has someone said something about me (or about the teaching profession) that has rung so true.
