Learning Challenge: I wish my teacher knew...

Reading the New York Times article "I wish my teacher knew..", it was really interesting to me to see how personal and heartbreaking some of the statements the kids wrote were. I can only imagine what my third grade self would have said on a card like that. Probably something like "I wish my teacher knew I think school is boring." I think it would be a really eye opening experience to know that the people around you everyday are dealing with such difficult things. For me, I think  having compassion is easier if I just imagine how I would want to be treated when I am struggling with anything.
