Saying Good-bye

Saying good-bye to a student can be absolutely heartbreaking. Today a student checked out and will be checking into a different school within the same district. I will miss little E. He could barely speak a word of English and seemed developmentally delayed but he really did try hard.

I'm glad his parents pulled him out of the school! He wasn't getting the services he deserved. I am glad that his mom listened to me. His leaving is bittersweet but the school he is moving to has a better reputation regarding ESL services. So, while I will miss him dearly I am equally elated that he will finally get the ESL education he deserves. That is, I hope so.
