Great article. As an English teacher in Thailand I am forced, due to the nature of my work , to change schools almost on an annual basis. It is an heart-wrenching process because not only did the kids come to trust and rely on me - I also came to love them all dearly.

It's hard to explain to them why I have to leave them. Even I have moments when I cannot understand why I REALLY have to leave too..

Thanks for showing us some insight into the world of our little ones.

Take care.
