You have limned the living room of not only a failing student, but a failing person, a failing husband, and all those who 'get used to it'. Your ability to reach out, to offer understanding, to see the inner possibilities, to make a difference provides incredible hope. What an insightful and moving piece.

I have always felt we are all individuals, and therefore learn according to who we are and what we want. The real treasure is finding the way in to each and every student.

If only he could see the same. I think you've helped him start to look though, and one day he might find it. You ask such thought provoking questions of Terrell very nice work Ms. G.

The depth of understanding, the detail of the circumstances, the realism of the story, all combine to convey a powerful feeling for the situation. But all hope is not lost and somehow, that's the beauty of the story. She must be a very insightful teacher---Great writing and I'm sure.................great teaching!!!!

Very insightful and heartfelt. Reading this certainly brought my hopes up again (realistically) after a challenging morning. Sometimes you forget why you're here, and then you read something like this and you say, "I fight the good fight. I'm a teacher - They need me." Thank you. This is an amazing post.

Reaching them is not the same as elevating them academically, yet if we don't reach them, as you did, there is no hope for motivation and progress. Bravo to you for allowing yourself to be affected by Terrell and for hanging in their with him.
