A few of my students texted me today.

They said that they hope I get well soon because they miss me. 🥹

I know they don’t like the teacher who’s subbing for me. This particular teacher is nice enough, but students don’t like the way he teaches. I’ve heard many complaints about him over the past 6 months.

I’m still testing positive. It’s day 7. I can’t go back to teaching until I test negative, even if I have a little bit of symptoms left.

I hate being sick because I hate not being there for my students.

Aww, that's really nice, that's something I can't imagine in my school years. Maybe it was just me but I felt like there was more distance between teachers and students.

@CrazyMusicLover One of the things that I strive for is to build rapport with my students, and I am able to do that naturally with just my personality and the way I conduct myself in class. When students see that you are passionate about teaching and that you care about their learning acquisition, then it is inevitable for that rapport to be established.
