Students need someone who cares, gives support, and encouragement. they need someone with a sharp, clear eye and the skill to know how to say, “This is fine. With work, it could be better.” A good teacher can do that, when there's time. Woul
dn't it be wonderful if there were more time! It's important to hear someone say, “This is fine,” and it's twice as important to hear that second part: “With work it could be even better(The Stone Soup Book of Friendship Stories).”
