To my
beloved fellow teachers. And, yes, I do deeply love each one of them.
Personally, one of my greatest fears is that I will see my calling as
"The Grader" when my calling is to be "The Teacher." I pray that all of
my grading will have a built in capability to teach so that I can more
fully honor my calling.
To my
beloved students, and yes, I do deeply love each one of them. No grade
is worth the sacrificing, the tarnishing, of one's personal sense of his
or her own integrity.
I was
reminded yesterday by a young lady with whom I team teach one of my
classes that too often I forget that someone's behavior is being
impacted by fears, sorrows, disappointments that I know nothing about.
My world is not all there is to their world. God has brought our two
worlds together so that both our lives might be His world. Is there any
act of love more powerful than intercessory prayer?
"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
