March - April

Esme takes in a student-in-need and finds some success with conflict-resolution in class. She receives a thinly-veiled threat from her assistant principal about the whole "Madame"-thing. In spite of this, she is retained for another year. Esme wins an award in spite of her disagreement with "the curriculum guy." Esme gives us a good reason to remember to listen to our students instead of yelling at them.

Have you ever had one of those moments/days when you think you learned as much or more from your students than they did from you?
