An endearing image, but I’ve seen some wonderful and loving teachers tire themselves into early graves by not taking enough time for themselves. I learned from them to go the extra mile for my own students, but also to keep a healthy work-life balance. Shel Silverstein’s “Giving Tree” could have had so much more to give if it had only set proper boundaries.

I wish more teachers took their position so seriously.

So is Pasquale going to be held back again this year? It seems that kid is in class with the same teacher every year.

I agree with EVERY statement expressed here. I went through it twice- once with my two girls, once with my grandson that we cared for for 5 years.

I find these people sickeningly saccharine. And does Grandpa know the 1890s are over?
