Day 10 - The truth and nothing but the truth...

I guess I've always known this but have chosen to ignore the obvious..but a good teacher really does make a difference in your kids life. For my oldest son, it was his 5th grade teacher. He opened his world up to Science and Math, taught him life lessons that he still quotes to this day and encouraged him to love learning new things. It was during this year that he committed himself to being an Honor Roll student and an out of the box thinker. My son is in 8th grade now and along the way, he's had some amazing teachers that have encouraged him to read, taught him to run and believed in his abilities that he skipped a whole year of math last year. So..for my RAK, I decided to thank his 5th grade teacher for all that he had done for my oldest son. I told him how much he meant to my son and how thankful his dad and I were for the inspiration and encouragement that he gave to our oldest son during his 5th grade year. It certainly made a difference and to this date, my son continues to be in Honors, getting As and A+s on his report card. Better write that now..because we just got back his College prep Geometry test on Friday night and it wasn't pretty. Until tomorrow..thank you child's teacher for everything positive that they have done for your child. It will make them smile and let them know that they have made a difference in a child's life.
