Thank you for loving them. ?

You are a stellar teacher and a very kind person. May your kids always appreciate you and pay it forward in spades because of you. Many blessings!

This is lovely, OP. You really should send it in (anonymously) to the WaPo - every parent of a teen should read it.

Thank you for all you do and for doing it so well!

OP,

I do not even have kids and your post made me cry!

You are a terrific writer and I could just picture the whole thing so vividly in my mind - the trophies, the kids sitting around you . . .

I was lucky enough to have a few teachers/professors like you and I am so grateful.

You are a treasure to your students and their parents, I am sure!

Anyone have a link to OP's previous post? Would love to read it.

Thank you, OP. There's a whole world we send our kids off to every morning and don't know much of what goes on there. I can only hope my kids have teachers just like you.

Ditto!! Thank you!
