Amazing stories of educators that impacted students for decades way after they were out of school. Skillfully written with intro to stories at each chapter. Written well! Ideas flowed and at times my tears flowed. Being a mother of 7 children I have dealt with many teachers over the years. The impact they have on a toddler or young adult is everlasting. The caution, skill and responsibility of the educator is overwhelming. Every parent should want to partner with an educator to make success stories for their child. These stories on fold with compassion, caring & kindness. Exhibiting the fine line the educator walks. Really loved it & share many of the stories I read.
