Reason #6 why I {heart} my kid's teacher

Me: [serious, frown-ey expression] So, I've been reading The Essential Conversation by Sarah Lawrence-Lightfoot and i just have to say that I've been completely moved by it and regard it as one of Education's seminal texts. I hope we can put some of her key principles in action today during our Parent/Teacher conference and really have some authentic connection around the Boo.

Boo's teacher: [Huge smile] Well, I hadn't planned on any of that but I'll see what I can throw together!

Hee Hee! She's a keeper that one!
