A beautiful post that has touched my deepest fiber. As a teacher, I can understand you very well. Students become our children, people we come to love despite differences. Although I am now a university professor, at the beginning of my career I had the opportunity to work with children and it really is an enriching, interesting and wonderful experience. I remember a boy who at first didn't like to talk to me and lost his shame; also a girl who didn't love her mother and fought with her, and by communicating with her on a daily basis, the girl began to get along with the mother. Like this experience, many others. Being a children's teacher can be a beautiful experience, but with a lot of responsibility, because even if we don't want it, we become an example, a reference; also almost in her parents and friends. Thank you for this post, @luces.
