    When I was a teacher, I was desperate to change the way the inner-city teenagers thought of themselves. So, I would choose a different student each day to be "it". Everyone in the room had to say one nice thing about him/her. The next day, it was someone else who got thirty compliments.

    That's it. That's the thing that sounds too simple to be that profound. But they were different children when they left that class. Recently, I ran into a former student who said he didn't remember anything I'd taught him but he remembered how he felt when he left our class. I like to think I might have taught something after all.
