I totally agree. Thanks for sharing because this is an inspiration to me that my child is better off where he is now.
I just cannot believe how easily the old teacher was able to get rid of him, just like that.
These children in your story were very lucky to have a wonderful teacher like that. I remember a few years ago, I had a boy in my class. He was in Grade 4 but could not speak a word English. Luckily his sister was in the class with him, so she was able to translate everything to the both of us. But it was my job to teach him English. I sat with him every second break and after school. Even when I had extra-mural activities, he came to me for English lessons. That year, he passed Grade 4 with English above 50. It just goes to show how easily children can learn and that they only need a little extra loving care to do so.
I so agree with you, a little effort does not make us people who do not care for children. If we give what we are able to live is just that little bit nicer. What is nicer than seeing children happy.
