Did you ever get the feeling you’ve forgotten to do something? Something important? I did, today in fact. You see, today was my youngest son’s last day of middle school. He’s a low-key kind of kid so to him it was no big deal—just another day. It’s been that kind of year. A few minor road bumps here and there, but generally, school has been a place that my son accepted without complaint and even with enthusiasm from time to time. Hey, he’s almost 14—I’lI take it. As I look ahead to the fall, and high school, I’m reminded that his middle school success has very little, if anything, to do with me. It did however, have everything to do with the amazing team of teachers that guided him. And that was what I forgot to do. To say “thank you.” There’s been a lot of attention focused on curriculum and testing. For a moment, I’d like to shift the focus and say thank you to all the teachers and administrators out there who are quietly making a difference. We notice. We just don’t tell you enough.
