It's me again, your kid's high school teacher

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Thanks, OP. Thank you so much.

I've just texted my high school senior son and set up a dinner/movie evening with just the two of us. Your post is a great reminder to cherish every minute I have "left" with him.

Thank you so, so much OP.

Count me in as another parent who needed to read this TODAY. Thank you OP.

Thank you, OP. I often remember your other post - the line about eating goldfish really resonated (odd as that sounds). I sincerely hope my oldest has a teacher like you. He needs you. Thank you.

I cried toward the middle. The Dollar Tree trophy anecdote, actually. Thank you for loving our kids!

Hanging out with her is what got me through my kids middle school years. OP you have a special and rare gift. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I’ll bet she’s one of my son’s teachers. He has one like op and it’s such a relief for kids when they have that one teacher who gets them. It’s a relief for me too, as a parent.

Thank you for this. Just what I needed this morning after a week of college touring!

Good lord, OP, you’re a better teacher than I am parent.

Thank you, thank you, OP! I remember your earlier post. Both made me cry. I don’t think my high schoolers have any teachers like you now but hope they will next year.

I agree a book or a TED talk would be great!

Thank you for being such a loving teacher.

I am 52 and still think about my Senior high s hook English teacher, she was only 30 at the time but we could tell she liked us all and she was happy to see us. I just loved her.

Keep posting, OP - I love reading these and it's such a great reminder to those of us who are parenting teens. I hope you write a book someday! If you do, post it here and we'll all buy it!
