a touching gesture

as teachers it is but right for us to update our pupil's parents about their son.s or daughter's behavior inside the classroom. It is nice to have a smooth relationship with parents, this way, we can hand in hand mold our soon to be leaders.
I had a not so manageable pupil last year who happens to be a child of a co teacher. the child is naughty but he is just too innocent that's why. ( thank God i have a psych back ground) The boy is kinda bully but all he needed was attention. Maybe his parents overlooked that part of parenthood and became so busy earning for the family. anyways, the thing that i want to share with is on how i felt when the mother of this child shed a tear or became teary eyed when the "now" teacher of her son was telling her of his behavior. She never objected on the story of the teacher but she shed a tear. I know she how she felt. Like me, she too became worried on how her son would take things especially the "always being reprimanded at school" as he grows old. My only statement was, "maybe he is not that academically inclined YET, of course we know we have multiple intelligences and maybe his intelligent is not on verbal or mathematical... i have read a beautiful book from HE WHO NEEDS NOT TO BR NAMED :) the RICH DAD POOR DAD. it was about how to become a millionaire. It was shocking that his rich dad was the person who never finished college and his poor dad was the one who works in the government. :) For that boy, i am including him in my prayers as well as all the pupils that i have crossed life's path with. I hope to see them one day as successful persons the way God wants them to be. :)
for the mother, i am with her in guiding that boy, by the way, after that incident i talked with the boy and his responses were all positive that he will do his best to make his parents proud of him. I hope so...
that gesture by my co teacher made me realized that once a mother always a mother.
that part of my life is the one thing i missed. nahhh!!! nevermind!
