   I fear that people have become desensitized to seeing teachers asking for help with wishlists.

   Each year we are inundated with teachers essentially begging for help. Believe me, I see it and feel it too.

   I am one of those teachers who would not be able to run a classroom without the kindness of strangers.

   I apologize & thank you in a single message, because I know many are struggling to get by. A boost is equally appreciated. I have 12 days before I begin year 18!

     @Saltssaltgirl @EdCates You have zero (read zero) reason to apologise. The folks in charge of implementing a system that leaves teachers in such a predicament should be the ones hanging their heads in shame (I won’t hold my breath).

     You exemplify everything that’s good in the system despite the system. I hope your students know how lucky they are to have you.

     @aral thank you for your kind words. The support you’ve shown to me has meant a lot. I do love being a teacher and I hope that real change comes soon.
