Super sweet! What a treasure.

I LOVE that! <3

I worked for a short while as a sub at the secondary level (7th-11th grade). I love that I had that opportunity and didn't realize just how much of an effect I had made until several years later when one of the students flagged me down at a store one day. He told me that I was his favorite substitute ever and thanked me for having been there. This kid was one of the troublemakers in the class, too--not a bad kid just one who was acting out at the time. It made my day, for sure, and was a great lesson, reinforcing the idea that you don't always know the extent of the effect you have on people, just by showing up.

Thanks for sharing!

That’s fantastic!

I've been a supply teacher for 10 years (what you call substitutes). And I have the bruises to show for it. The last note I got from a Year 7 (well, she actually wrote it across the page of a school book) was F++k f+c+fU++ Ms. (my name). The first two attempts at fuck were crossed out as she'd spelt the word wrong. I was really proud that she finally managed to get it right!

So sweet and rewarding. Thank you for all you do.

Aww ! Rewards from their heart to yours. How nice !

your not looney, horses for courses

That is so lovely, how much did you pay for it?

What a lovely gesture!

Subbing at the elementary level is the best! I began my career in teaching with a year's elementary subbing - the kids are a delight

That's cool

Nice.
