My Students Always Schooled Me

Now we’re part of a mutual admiration society

Author’s Archives.

Seen: Former students — ironically? — had a “room 215 fan club reunion”. This English teacher loves the lowercase nature of the small gathering.

Heard: Room 215? Me. Taught in that classroom for decades.

Noted: I used social media to get students’ attention. My handle? “Room 215,” natch.

Quoted: Another graduate: “A handful of teachers imparted valuable life knowledge. You were one of them. I don’t think a week has gone by that I haven’t used something you taught me. You are a gem; a truly one-of-a-kind teacher.”

The feeling is mutual. I’m thankful for everything these kids taught me. Everything. Truly a gift.
