30 Stories Of Students Being The Most Precious Beings On The Face Of The Earth Shared By Teachers Of Twitter
Every once in a while, we all have those days when the world feels much heavier than it usually does. Days when nothing feels right, and instead of dealing with your daily responsibilities, all you'd like to do is stay in bed and not talk to anyone. For at least a few years.
Though sometimes, without you even realizing it, all it takes for you to get out of this mess might be a few kind words. A simple and kind "How are you doing today?" has the potential to change a person's whole day, and if that's not magic, then I don't know what is.
I'm sure that these 30 teachers know this feeling quite well. Recently, a Twitter user Cova_Gab shared a wholesome message that was sent to her by her student. "Are you okay? What did you eat for breakfast?" reads the message. Turns out, she gets texts like this from the student almost every day.
Here's the wholesome message that this teacher receives almost every day

Someone replied to the original post by saying this: "This 2nd grader needs to teach a connection and empathy course at my school." "Kids are really like little best friends. My students can always make my day no matter how rough the week may have been," another user added.
I wonder if at some point they have been hungry or thirsty and ignored and know how it feels. Instead of bitter they are kind to others.
On the other hand, there were people who found messages like that quite concerning. "This is super sweet, but also makes me wonder if the child is experiencing extreme stress due to Covid and quarantine. Maybe just check in to make sure is ok at home?" someone wrote. "Just food for thought as I do not know the details—Kids with trauma often with ask others the questions they need to be asked. They parent trusted adults in their lives in hopes of being parented in return," another user added.
Some other users shared instances that are quite different from the previous ones. "I work with 1st-3rd graders and the best I get is a good morning from 2 of them," someone wrote. "My students locked me out of the building and asked me what WAP means," another user said. "Must be nice.... my middle school students ask me what strip clubs I've been to," someone added.
Little children are like looking up from the mud puddle you stepped in and seeing a field of sun flowers.
It's always nice to be appreciated. My teenage son thanked me for making dinner the other night and it was the highlight of my week.
I believe with all my heart that all children are kind and smart, some are mistreated and get a little rough around the edges but give them a chance.
I'm sure they didn't wish you were dead. When a few kids kick off or get bored or chatty, it's easy to think it's the whole class, but it's not. Some kids will remember YOU as their favourite teacher ever!
Thanks for the tip.That could branch out into several different conversations.
That really made me laugh. It's good to know there are some fun sides, or at least fun moments, in digital classes too.
Hmmm, in Norway a 'student' is somebody in university / university college, I tough the younger ones were 'pupils'?
In the United States, as a general rule, those attending and learning from any educational facility are referred to as students. The term student is then subdivided into their age categories, with “elementary” (primary school), “middle school” (years 6-8), and “high school” (secondary, years 9-12). People in university/college are usually referred to as students at whichever university they attend, whether that is the University of California, Los Angeles, Oklahoma State, or Yale University (I’m a student at ...) Pupil is a synonym for any student, although it does have a connotation for the younger students.

Also was a teacher in a nursery, when I quit the job to care for my husband, I received 3000 cranes hand made by the moms and the kids I taught. Wishing my husband to get better. Made me cry...
Am I a horrible person fir thinking they're probably just doing it to get a better grade?! 😅
Not horrible, Elisha, but maybe a little cynical. This may be true of some of them, but I don't think it is of the younger ones, or those with, say, autism.
