Love this quote...

I have seen this quote, yes, of course, on Pinterest.  I have seen it many times and every time it really makes me think.  I reminds me of so many of my students.  I want to encourage every single educator who has ever though that a student doesn't belong in their general education classroom to think about this long and hard.  We all have different qualities about us and we need to make sure that we see those in our students.  Remember, some students have different goals in your class and it will look different than the majority of the rest of the class. 

Bottom line is: EVERY SINGLE STUDENT MATTERS AND THEY DESERVE YOUR TIME.
