Educators Know How Important You Are To Vulnerable Families

All you educators out there PLEASE know you make a difference.

When I emigrated to the USA I was feeling a little lost. After 25 years in UK education what would I do. On my last day as headteacher a parent handed me a letter. A parent by her own admission was not always the easiest to work with! She asked me not to read it until I got to America. Here is what it said:
‘Mrs A
I’m not good at this sort of thing. I know I have been avoiding you but that’s because I don’t know what to say. You have been a part of my life now for what seems like forever. During some of my most challenging times. Whether I’ve been at my worst or my best you have always been patient and consistent (even if I’ve been impossible). These are rare qualities. I can’t find the words to express how grateful I am for all you have done over the years. It takes a big heart to be a teacher that actually makes a difference in school time but also home life too is something else. You have made a difference to my home I so many ways, ways that you probably don’t realise. Thank you so much.’

There will be a life you touched in this way too! Don’t ever forget it
