One of my readers shared a note she received from her grandson’s eighth grade teacher. She wrote to his teacher letting her know how motivated she kept her grandson. The teacher replied with this message:
“Thank you so much. You have no idea how much your words mean to me. Teaching like this has felt so empty. Being together in that space we created together just can’t be replaced. The disconnect is literally suffocating. I know the kids are feeling drained as well. I just hope and pray we do not have to keep doing this to this extent in August! Thank you for all that you are doing to help us!”
Distance learning is difficult because you just can’t replace that direct feedback and love between teachers and students. The impact being made is hard to see and feel over Zoom.
It warmed my heart to know there are teachers that care about their students first and foremost. Knowing there are teachers that care this much makes the future look brighter.
This is a perfect time to express your gratitude to a teacher or really anyone that you appreciate. Kind words are always welcomed but now we all need them more than ever.
