I’m reading a student’s new psychoeducational report, and I come to the “teacher narratives” section. This kid’s Creative Writing I teacher actually wrote, and I quote…seriously…”He is a very creative writer. He enjoys writing creatively…” That’s all! That was her response when asked to describe the boy’s academic strengths. That’s a response from a 25-year veteran teacher with a Master’s degree in English. 

I love my job. By the way, I’m a special education teacher.
