#37: Parents

You hear teachers complain A LOT about parents. Well this week I am thankful for one very sweet mom who has been emailing me because her son is out sick with the flu. Her eamils with me started below and then today she emailed because she heard I too am not feeling this week just to let me know she was thinking about me and to thank me for replying to emails quickly. I am so thankful for this because it is so neat to be encouraged by someone I only know through email and through her son.

Here was her first email to me...

"As you probably are aware ______ struggled a bit in previous Algebra 1 classes but I wanted to let you know that he has been so excited to be in your class. He told me that he really likes your teaching style and that you are sooo much easier for him to follow than prior teacher/teachers. I am thankful for this and hope it continues to be positive for him. I know he has the ability to master Algebra but has had some foundation gaps along the way that needed to be corrected way before now. I haven't met you, but I know what he has told me which has been positive and it seems like you are good at what you do and for that I am thankful!"
