To Sir With Love
Dear Mr. Muto
I am happy that I decided to attend the parent-teacher meeting last Friday. I had become so tired of them, to be honest. You opened the meeting by saying Anayah can go all the way to the top if she continues working the way she was. Here is a little backstory, Anayah has always said she hated school. At first, I was a little upset with her, but then I realized that the cookie-cutter school setting does not fit every student. Anayah is a free spirit, she learns differently and having to sit in a classroom all day long is not very engaging to her. As a matter of fact, what we found is she does enough to pass in class but never gives that extra effort. However, when she met you, that changed.
Teachers are great. <3 They do such an amazing job working with the kids every day.
I don’t know how they do it. I go crazy with my four children, and they manage so many children daily with such patience.
A teacher who supports and guides are a gem in themselves. They don’t realise it but they are shaping the child’s future.
He is such a gem and she still speaks about him ever so often. She will never forget him.
This is such a wonderful tribute to your daughter’s teacher. As an elementary teacher myself, I know that letters like these can really uplift the spirits of educators, especially during this very unusual school year. Congratulations to your daughter on all of her progress!
Thank you, Maureen. Teaching is no easy job, and often teachers are underappreciated. When I saw how he was working with her, I had to say something. I was brimming with gratitude.
Mr. Muto seems like an amazing teacher. Your daughter is fortunate to have him in a time where we hear so much negative about teachers. I’m glad her spark has come to life so early. May her subsequent teachers fan it into a flame and may she have all the success in the world.
Thank you for your kind words. Every child needs to experience a Mr Muto at least once in their life.
