I Wish My Teacher Knew: How One Question Can Change Everything for Our Kids | Kyle Schwartz

I had parent/teacher conferences tonight and another session tomorrow. I‘ve taught 3rd grade for 14 years now. A lot has changed in that time, but the importance of reading has not. Unfortunately, getting the parents to understand said importance also hasn‘t changed much. š¢

Schwartz‘ poignant book is a testimony to the impact and power a teacher has. Rather than going through the mere drudgery of teaching, day in, day out, Schwartz went out of her way to really get to know her students. Teachers really play the role of psychologist and sociologist, in addition to their 'job‘ of passing along information.
