“And only by being a welcome person in your student’s life can you — with all that you have to offer — find a place in their life and gain access to them so you can communicate with them, do your job as a teacher, and enjoy your students as a people.”

What a great quote! Unfortunately I think many teachers forget that our kids are people too!

This is such an important thing to remember! On those days when you just are trying to make it through the day, you have to remember that they are people who deserve and need to be treated with respect and courtesy. I love this quote and I am going to print it and put it in our teacher’s lounge!
