So I have always wanted to be one of those crazy teachers that you learn a lot from! I have desided that I am probably more of the crazy then the learning! I am working at it! I am had a writting assignment about the Constitution and how it effects the students in their life and this is a quote from one of my student's paper!
“I can say things with out going to jail. I can belong to any religious groups I want I can dress like I want I have a home where I can live or wher I’m safe I used to live in mexico and I was afraid because the soldiers could come in and take my family members and kill them, and ther was nothing we could do. We didn’t have any rights that’s why I moved to America”
I have heard from one of the other teachers that his dad was killed by the local drug lord. I really like this student he struggles with English but he trying his hardest!
I am truly greatful for all that I have been given. To live in this Country where are freedoms are protected. We forget it and take things for adavantage! I love the USA! We rock!

Well that just makes you sit down grateful, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing that! You are a teacher who makes a difference because what your students learn above all else is that they matter. That's the best lesson of all!
I wish more people could read what your student had to say and appreciate the blessings of life in the United States as strongly as she obviously does. Thanks for sharing!
