Not as Important as I Thought I Was

Funny Story. This past week I got to see opposite ends of the impression I've been able to make on some of our students. Yesterday I had an 8th grade parent come to school to pick up their student and she went out of her way to thank me for the three years and all the great things that have been going on here at SCMS. Of course I didn't stop her to tell her that my job is easy, we've got great kids and I just try to stay out of the way of our staff and good things happen. I thanked her for the complements and it made me feel pretty good. It was a reminder to me that all in all, we're doing a pretty good job. That was the up side. The funny, other side of this story happened about a week ago when a parent came into school to pick up their 8th grade student early. I happen to be in the hallway and began talking to the parent about the past three years, how much I was going to miss their daughter, what a great kid she was and how I wish I had a 100 kids like her here at SCMS. The parent's response 'Who are you?". If you are an 8th grade parent...whether you know me or not, we are going to miss your student. Best of luck the next four years.
