Why I like good students

I am taking this opportuntity to be thankful.

Good students make the life of teachers so much easier. Good students do their homework which makes it easier to have interesting discussions. Good students come ready to share of themselves in potentially vulnerable ways. That helps us all learn. Good students ask the hard to answer questions that deserve to be asked. Good students make connections between their life experiences and what they are learning, and that enriches understanding. Good students put in the hours that it takes to do a good job, to have a job well-done.  Good students don't expect good grades, only fair grades. Good students make us want to give more of ourselves as teacheres.Good students somehow bring out or tap into what we have forgotten that we know.

If only life had only good students....
