Great bit of insight into the mind of a teacher. Anyone that loves teaching spends a part of themselves on every 'student.' If the student isn't trying his best, it's hard for the teacher to want to do his/her best.
For the good of everyone, let's all just do our best, yes?
Excellent read, @tinypaleokitchen.
Thank you very much for the support and encouragement, @negativer. ;-) Let's do just that. Our best.
