I’ve been there, too. It’s really inspiring, especially when you wrote you were crying on the subway, and I just can see the same person standing among the crowd, me. The boy you mentioned, who’s never so much like a book in his life, must have encouraged hundreds of teachers to continue teaching and believe they can do something. I also suffered from doing the same thing online and I still don’t know how to solve similar problems. Once you put your classroom online, there will be so many other substitutes taking your students away, especially in China, with tons of fascinating apps kids can easily approach.
Thank you for your touching story. I love it. I think you and your story have also inspired me to insist on my reading group and share what lovely experience we have.
Thank you.

I was into science and math when I was in high school that I went on to them in college earning a science degree, however I still love poetry and real history which helped me in my travels. Now that Iā€™m retired I keep my time into books of various fields. Mr. Albom touched my inquisitive nature and his openness to everyone that I have ordered the books to appreciate fully. Mind opener perhaps?

Awesome to see the one student go out on his own to get the book too.. that young man’s life is changed for sure – just because you read this book and saw the value in bringing it into your classroom. I need to do more with this book in my classes too. (Love the idea of having a little more room on a subway too… šŸ™‚

Keep up the good work – your students are lucky to have you as a teacher. From being in the profession 31 years now, I know we need more teachers like you to see the value of connecting great content and information to kids. šŸ™‚ Thanks for the inspiration.
