My honors student.

Okay, so he doesn’t have honors. But you should have seen him today. He walks in and without a word whips his progress report out of his pocket and lays it on the table. He is grinning ear to ear. In nearly every class he has either an A or a B! He couldn’t have been prouder. He’s got one class he’s struggling in and we talked about how he might be able to bring that grade up. “Your on your way to being an honor student!” I told him. “Me, an honor student?” he said sheepishly, but you could tell he was excited about the possibility.
Boy does that make teaching worthwhile.

that’s just awesome! I’ve experienced that too, the actual real joy that comes when one of my students who traditionally doesn’t…does well! I feel so happy for them.
