I think more teachers need to be aware of student needs. I enjoyed reading your post and admire your care and understanding when dealing with student problems. All to often teachers forget that we are the ones who see the children more then their own parents at times, and that we, inevitably, are the ones they come to when they have a problem or concern. I agree with you when you said we need to make ourselves more approachable to students. Thanks for your thoughtful insights.
