Absolutely love this guy and what he’s willing to do for our kids. And if you think about it, standing in dirty water to set up a safe bridge for students is a damned fine metaphor for the teaching profession in general.

Thanks for sharing . . .
Great teachers . . . that’s what they do. I’m a professor in an Education department . . . training tomorrow’s teachers. And increasingly, I look for empathy in my students. Do they have the ability to serve and connect.
The world’s a tough place and the ‘public good’ in the world is fading fast. No matter today’s viral videos and ‘feel good’ marketing, it’s a rarity to see people trying to understand others’ needs. (Sorry for the soapbox)
Again, thanks for this . . .

lol.
I do. In class . . . each and every time!
