Content: 3. They Support Their Students Through the Toughest Times
Teachers often support students through difficult times that go beyond their classroom curriculum. Take fourth-grade teacher Sonya R., for example. Her nickname is The Tooth Puller. "It happened by accident," she said. " One day in class, one of the boys kept wiggling his a loose tooth. Of course, the kids around him had their eyes on him and not me. Finally I said, 'Do you want me to pull that out?' He nodded, so I reached in and pulled it out. It was just hanging by a thread but he was too scared to do it himself."
