A Texas Teacher’s Heartfelt Reminder
A Texas student returned home recently with a heartfelt note from her teacher, just before the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness exam for math and reading. Surprisingly, this wasn’t a reminder to hit the books; instead, it was a poignant reminder that students are so much more than just their test results.
Regardless of our opinions on standardized testing, the pressure on both students and teachers is undeniable. This teacher took a moment to pause amidst the chaos and stress to share a vital message: your worth is not determined by a single test score.
Teachers Unite in Support
When a photo of the letter made its way to social media, teachers everywhere chimed in with similar stories. They shared experiences of how they’ve reassured their students, expressing the joy they find in teaching. Comments from parents echoed this sentiment, showcasing the lasting impact teachers have on young minds. One parent recalled how a note sent out during testing weeks still held significance for their child years later. Another emphasized how teaching can be challenging but deeply rewarding, highlighting that assessments often fail to capture a child’s full potential.
Recognizing Our Educators
It’s a reminder that, as National Teacher Appreciation Day approaches, we should take the time to recognize the dedication of our children’s educators. These teachers are shaping lives in ways that extend far beyond the classroom. I can still recall the names of the teachers who left a mark on my life, while the details of any test questions have long since faded.
“You are brilliant. You are enough. You shine so bright… Never forget that the true essence of you can’t be measured by tests!” What an inspiring message from a wonderful teacher!
