But I promise,
underneath that bravado of the seventh grader
or swagger of the tenth grader
you will find that small first grader who wonders,
“Will my teacher like me?”
And when that child – that teen –
knows that you believe he or she matters,
then that student will do most anything for you.
(from Kylene Beers in an open letter to America’s teachers)
