We sometimes don't know what kids are having to go home to every day from school... It is sad... Glad you are there for your students...<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-90236300549467302342011-03-11T12:30:43.252-05:002011-03-11T12:30:43.252-05:00i enjoy how you open up your classroom to us, allo...i enjoy how you open up your classroom to us, allowing us to see the very real struggles both you and your students walk through. i will be praying for this bold young lady and her family.alittlebitogracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877901425923760323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-13488529261478280502011-03-10T22:24:43.664-05:002011-03-10T22:24:43.664-05:00My first thought is that I am glad you took the ti...My first thought is that I am glad you took the time to see her, to notice that something was wrong rather just assuming "attitude." And you listened, offering help, on her side, not judging her, honoring her heart. She's gutsy and caring...and so are you, disclaimer or no. We all have disclaimers. We all get it wrong. And sometimes, with Help, we make a difference, bring a piece of the Kingdom down.Joybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297146716502529100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-71963344940271727482011-03-10T20:47:24.697-05:002011-03-10T20:47:24.697-05:00what a difficult situation for all ...

So glad she had someone to listen to her at that moment...<br /><br />I know you felt you needed to leave a disclaimer, but all of us could say the same. We are imperfect. Loving here, failing to love there. That's why we need Jesus.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-19242828167223733002011-03-10T10:28:23.481-05:002011-03-10T10:28:23.481-05:00Oh my!Oh my!The Allenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577904558951975762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-8102402633782678332011-03-10T09:43:44.016-05:002011-03-10T09:43:44.016-05:00i am glad she felt comfortable enough to share wit...i am glad she felt comfortable enough to share with you ...she is gutsy but obviously knows as well when to be weak and allow others to share the burden...i admire her more for that.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-68441690185636588742011-03-10T08:39:10.955-05:002011-03-10T08:39:10.955-05:00and you, indeed, may never know the ripple that th...and you, indeed, may never know the ripple that this pebble of kindness will cause. thank-you for caring for her, for touching her, for listening to her. <br />your images are beautiful.pattyhttp://www.findingserendipity.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123851797673892305.post-1503273219227864312011-03-10T06:08:26.153-05:002011-03-10T06:08:26.153-05:00You may not be a perfect teacher - none of us are ...You may not be a perfect teacher - none of us are perfect - but your heart is in the right place.<br />I can see the caring inside which is probably why you became a teacher in the first place.
