I do not want the responsibility of raising someone's child, nor do I want to the brunt of their personal development on my shoulders. I just want to teach my subject. However, it's the human connection of what we do that makes it a great job, and it's the type of connection that we do have that makes the difference in young peoples' lives. School is more than a physical building where learning takes place. It's a community where people care for each other. Mrs. Bluebird, you always do a great job of reminding us of what is important.HappyChyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586840416488114845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-8497075300482868082011-04-20T18:10:20.660-05:002011-04-20T18:10:20.660-05:00Hooray for what really matters!

I know the feeling for teachers; one of my former students was KIA in Iraq. Such a *&^%$# waste. <br /><br />I will forever curse the government leaders who got us into this mess. So many lives and so much money wasted for....what? Medieval societies still existing in the 21st century? <br /><br /><br />Just a suggestion; if your school still has counselors (we haven't had those in several years), ask counselor to talk to your students classmates. The boy will not be the same when he returns to school. His classmates can help him alot.Dan Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397636504405471939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-71780094020065165832011-04-19T22:00:55.058-05:002011-04-19T22:00:55.058-05:00Eloquently stated.

So many times, this has to come first--before we can even get through to teach the ones who need us most. And, truthfully, it's why I can get up and go each morning. Thoughts and prayers for all of you who will be there for the boy and his family.TeacherFromTNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915549865434643334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-47703341824531678862011-04-19T20:28:45.175-05:002011-04-19T20:28:45.175-05:00I'm so sorry for your student's loss.
