This made my day. I found a random notebook/journal sitting by itself in the gym one day and decided I would attempt to find it’s owner. I opened it up and this is what I saw on the first page. You need to know that this is one of my students that I have had all year. He got the LOWEST EOG score possible in 6th grade, was caught smoking weed in the bathroom, would regularly be seen in my room staring at the wall or the floor or his own hand. Somehow, he grew 11 points and went from a Level I to a Level II.
I never thought I was his favorite teacher by any means – and I definitely wouldn’t have listed these qualities as the top reasons. But either way, I’m flattered.
My favorite part: “no homo” (that’s what they say when they want to say nice things to other dudes…haha)
That is good stuff…
