Last week at our school, students completed "Apple Grams"-- short notes students could choose to write to a teacher. I got the following:
“Mr. Turner,
Your class has brought great joy to our frontal lobes. Our
sympathetic nervous systems are always activated in your presence. You
are the terry-cloth mother to our rhesus monkeys, the Robin Williams to
our DeNiro.
Forever Self-Actualized,
xxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxxx”
That's the best appreciation a teacher can get. They expressed thanks to me as a teacher, and managed to show me they'd learned something at the same time. (In case you couldn't figure it out from the note, I teach AP Psychology).
