yesterday a student brought me a gift. a pewter ornament with "special teacher" engraved on it. i'm pretty used to these little gifts. the kids like me and 7th graders love writing you notes and bringing presents.
but this one hurt. it hurt because i felt completely undeserving. this girl is great. she's a great student, does her work, isn't a problem. and because of that i barely talk to her. when i told my mentor teacher how shocked i was to get something from her... he said "you probably talk to her more than anyone else"
how much does that suck. no wonder kids slip through the cracks.
**** I'm working on my portfolio... beware of related posts.....

true, and yet, how can it also be true that the kids i work with also get ignored and fall through the cracks of the school system? who gets all the attention?
