Teacher Love

When I was in fifth grade, preparing to enter middle school, Mrs. Flounders pulled me aside. She said she was putting me in ”track one” next year. But that I made it ”by the skin of my teeth.” She told me she would be watching me all year and making sure that I was working up to my potential. Mrs. Flounders taught me the importance of student-teacher connections and the value of high expectations. I bring her lessons with me each day to work!
