One of my students left today. I particularly hated to see her go, for very selfish reasons. She had been a very reliable person to send to do my Xeroxing for me. She always finished her work early, and she would help out the rest of the day. When she left, she handed me a note. Among the things that it said was this nugget: “…and thanks for caring whether or not I got my credits or not. I’ve never met a teacher who cared whether I got all my grades or not.”

Weird, huh?

Also, this note happened to be from the student whom I am 99 percent certain went in my purse and stole six dollars the first week she was in my class.

She has a lot of potential. I hope she does okay. She really isn’t looking forward to dealing with the “drama” at her home school.
