Comment I made to a newer teacher.
"you and I have no idea what kind of hell our kids have at home."
At least once a month I am deeply disturbed or humbled by my students
Children who live with grandparents, or other relatives because the parents are druggies.
The tourette syndrome child, who cannot go to a movie
The child who _must_ be on the cheerleader team because she has a medical condition that if she is not active, she will go blind and possible candidate for Crohn's disease.
The child with juvenile arthritis.
The child who does not know what his next meal will be.
The child who has never had someone say in word or deed, "you are the most important thing in my life.
Didn't see a 'contact', so putting this here: you commented at my blog in a post on forensics, if you haven't seen it PM had a big article on the subject here
