How refreshing!

Your letter speaks wisdom to all teachers. How we all need this as a life-long reminder!

Your letter reminds me of this statement:
"It is the warmth and nurture of human relationships that... children most easily respond to. Learning most easily takes place in the context of a safe environment in which people feel secure enough to experiment, to take risks, to venture beyond their capabilities into the great unknown." (Kottler, 2005, p.48)

Thank you for sharing this letter of encouragement.
