"Dear Ms. Mennice,

From your best

We're still working on my name (pronunciation & spelling)! This is a note I received from a student after he had to stay for detention the second time. He forgot the paper that needed to be signed but told me in a grumbling voice, "I forgot it but my Mom knows I am staying. I'm punished and she said that you can keep me every day next week to make up for all the things I didn't learn in class while I was talking." The crazy thing is - he is by far the toughest student I have! Each week I'm going to try and do a quote of the week so this is the first!

I now feel updated with reading your blog and Annie Bower's. (I sent her a belated birthday greeting.) I feel your pain in teaching - the kids are what it's all about...you MUST just put aside all the politics, inadequacies of equipment, and inner struggles and just close your door and interact with the kids - pure joy! Hugs, XOSYD
