This was so heartwarming. These students will never forget this and neither will the teachers. I had a rough childhood and I will never forget when I was 10 and my teacher approached me to ask me how my home life was. It was completely unexpected. I'm 29 now and will never forget. ❤

Just an observer and I’m crying at their sincerity.

The body language of the child in the colorful hoodie says so much💔. These words were something their soul needed to hear. I hope they carry these words in their heart forever. I'm so happy for these kids and teachers!

Every single school should do this. I truly feel telling someone something as easy as "thank you" is as infectious as a yawn or someone laughing.

This would be an amazing way to reach out to those students who are struggling on an emotional level. It could maybe even prevent a tragedy from happening. Give them an emotional outlet of sorts. This is a beautiful way to recognize how some students may also impact the lives of their teachers who work so hard to raise them into upstanding citizens

This truly shows how much such a simple gesture can make someone smile and cry tears of happiness. Not all kids hear kind word so this is truly sweet. I'm gonna do this with my kids for sure!

@anataye88 Год назад

I feel like it's the 1st time some of these kids have heard that which is heartwarming and sad

@Jump-2-the-moon Год назад

Got me crying as well.

Sometimes we in education feel forced to put so much of our energy into dealing with behavior problems that we forget to appreciate those kids who make it all worth it. We would all be happier if we take the time to focus on those kids that give us a boost in the heart.

I live in a neighboring city and I couldn’t be any prouder of where I live. To know that this happened very close to where I live makes my heart happy ❤

@sakinastraveldiary4562 Год назад

This brought tears to my eyes. I have tried to be kind to most of my teachers who were even slightly attempting to do their job well. I wish teachers wrote such letters more often.

@Princessbyatch88 Год назад

As a teacher, I love writing notes to my kids but with the current generation of students, they don't always appreciate kind gestures so it makes it hard for teachers to try. It's like taking to a wall at times but we really try.

@enochia Год назад

@@Princessbyatch88 You're right, most kids don't appreciate kind gestures at that age but you never know when you might get the right kid at the right time... sometimes all a person in crisis needs is a hug or a reminder that they're not alone so I implore you to keep doing kind gestures for your students. I always felt left behind by my teachers and peers because I noticed teachers leaned more towards the social and outgoing students and I was very shy and afraid of failure because I had a very rough home life filled with verbal abuse. So I always felt sad seeing the teachers and students laugh while I sat alone in the back. I always wished the teacher would come talk to me but they never did unless I spoke to them first.

@@Princessbyatch88 And I won't even lie, I did have a teacher who was like that but it was different because it was a special needs class and there was only like 10 of us at most. I also feel like classrooms can have way too much students for one teacher to truly support each one of them. Once I was in a class with like 33 students and that's those moments when I TRULY felt left behind and alone and I stopped going to class completely. That's when they switched me to the special needs class due to my issues.

@tiare5022 Год назад

I love this. Don't know what some of these students are going through. Just a simple gesture like this could mean the world to them ❤️

@kallen868 Год назад

Sweet! This reminds of my school in the 1980's!Teachers would send notes to students congratulating them on achievements like plays,music,sports etc. I still have mine.

@Karii0728 Год назад

Trust me they will never forget this. I'm 29 years old and I still never forget one of my freshman year teachers. I was going through a very difficult time in my personal life. other teachers treated me like a lost cause and a troubled child. He treated me with love, compassion, understanding, and patience. She always made sure I had a safe space. He is the reason I didn't drop out of school.

We loved Mrs. Earl when my son was in the school. During parent/teacher conferences she always made me feel like my son had a chance of making it through, she always saw him for who he was, not just a grading scale. Thank you Mrs. Earl for who you are!

@elenaoakes8494 Год назад

This was so lovely. The way that they reacted shows we don't say it enough. When I was at school I really felt it wouldn't make a difference if i wasn't there having a teacher do this would've made such an impact!

@jbirdz3609 Год назад

Can anyone watch this without bawling their eyes out?! 😭 The fact that these young people are seen and there’s appreciation for their very presence!! Oh my, how incredibly uplifting.

@Jesi-g Год назад

This is such a great idea. But I can only imagine how sad the students that didn't get a letter might feel. I have a sister that works as a student advisor, and for a lot of her students she's the only person in their lives that encourages them to believe in themselves and makes them feel like they are worth something special. She's basically that parent figure that as a child you want to make proud. She tells me how she tries to make sure that ALL her students know she's there for them and they can count on her. They should have planned on a day where the teacher could express her gratitude to ALL her students. So the teacher writes a letter to each one of her students in class. You just never know which kid could really use that kind of gratitude and encouragement.

@jennag4645 Год назад

We need many more teachers like this Anyone whos had a teacher like this will always remember them

@amymiller8964 Год назад

This is so touching. No doubt these teachers left a positive impact on these students that will stick with them the rest of their lives.

WOW! Wonderful!!

@erinn1045 Год назад

That was amazing. Absolutely amazing!!!

@forestforthetrees1111 Год назад

You can tell these kids don't hear things like that very often, if ever. Wouldn't it be nice if every student in the school got a note!

@sonjabethay2277 Год назад

@pmoore4529 Год назад

SERIOUSLY, TEACHERS NEED TO GET PAID WHAT THEY ARE WORTH!!! AT LEAST 80K A YEAR OR MORE. BUT ONLY THE ONES THAT HAVE A GIFT AND LOVE OF TEACHING BECAUSE THERE ARE LAZY TEACHERS THAT SIT BEHIND THEIR DESKS ALL DAY AND HAVE THE STUDENTS READ THEIR TEXTBOOKS WITHOUT ANY GUIDANCE. TEACHERS SAVE LIVES. TEACHERS INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION! THEY ARE SOMETIMES ALL A CHILD HAS DUE TO TOXIC PARENTS. THEIR SALARY NEEDS TO CHANGE!! STUDENTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RATE THEIR TEACHERS ALSO. THAT WAY THE ADMINISTRATION CAN KNOW WHAT TEACHERS ARE DOING THEIR JOB.
