Sounds like you've got a good group now.

Teacher's really don't have much power or discretion any more... at least not in any of the schools I know about.

But I gotta tell ya: the way your son's teacher handled it was right on the money. Utterly pitch-perfect.

He feels supported and appreciated and they learn compassion. Win-win.

I don't think that would have occurred to me in a million years.

Hang on to that teacher like there's no tomorrow.
