" There was a time when a teacher called my mom just to let her know that I was doing well in her classroom and that I should keep up the good work. She felt my mom should be called about something positive for once."

"My teacher showed my parents a portfolio of my work and discussed where she thought I might need work and my strong points. My parents felt like the teacher was interested in me and wanted to help her students in any way."

"My 1^st grade teacher called my parents and told them that I was the most responsible kid in the class and because of this I could have one of the extra baby rabbits that she had if it was OK with my parents"
