Thank you. I graciously accept your fine praise and seek to do better

I think the Boomer generation wasn’t necessarily informed about a lot of things. Hence, it is up to us Gen X and Y to be mindful not to perpetuate misguided practices.

Hugs to you!

Teachers always put me down for bad grades and disattention. I would go back home sad and with resentment towards myself because I wasn't doing enough.

It's only recently that I discovered that I didn't fail my teachers, but the teachers failed me.

I have to thank you for being a teacher that wants to break this pattern.
