She has hit that time in her career, since we’ve been in Roanoke, that her first students are now enrolled in college. It blows me away when she’ll get a blindsided hug from a seeming random student in just about anywhere we go. People that don’t believe teachers can have an impact on a young persons life must have really missed out on a great part of their younger years.

Sadly, our focus in public education these days is minimum proficiency on a standardized test. We develop gimmicks to “grade” our schools. Yeatts said, “Education is not the filling of a bucket, it’s the lighting of a fire.” Kudos to Mrs. Chubb-Hale for lighting the fire in Ms. Bennett.
