Puppy's description of his experience on the bus should be required reading for all teachers. Tomorrow morning, I will head into an IEP staffing -- the first of my career -- as the regular-ed representative for one of my sophomores. I was already looking forward to this meeting as a chance to find out more about my student and his needs so I can do a better job of helping him enjoy my favorite subject. How much more compassionate will I be as I feel Puppy's solemn brown eyes on me, silently admonishing me to do right by this young man? Go give your sweet, beautiful boy a big hug and kiss from a complete stranger who wants him to know that his heartbreaking words are making her a better teacher. While you're at it, give yourself a big hug and kiss. Your blog is touching more lives than you will ever know. I am blinking back tears as I write this.
