    I am a Middle School Special Ed teacher, and I remember when I told my 6th graders that I was changing schools they were sad. One little girl got so upset she was crying. I felt terrible. I know how hard this is. I told them they would be leaving for 7th grade and eventually high school so it was bound to happen. There is a strange and wonderful connection between students and teachers. Every year it’s hard to let them go…

      In 3rd grade,our Arabic & Islam teacher was leaving. We(most of the girls) spent our recess time to decorate the class,brought some stuff like cake and presents,and cleaned the classroom to surprise him. I'm currently in 7th grade and i really miss my 3rd grade teachers and classmates. You and your students seem so sweet :D

I am a grown man who has gone through some things and teaches high schoolers who think nothing of cursing me out. But this made me cry. I don’t think I would have the strength to do what you did.

    To those being unkind to this young woman. She is doing what is right for her and she has told the children she is leaving in the kindest most empathetic way she could. I do not know how it works in the US but here in the UK reception kids often have teaching assistants as well as the teacher, thus the children will still have a level of continuity and the majority of the children will move on with nothing but fond memories of “miss”. How do I know this? I trained as a SEN (special education needs) teaching assistant in 2007 and my classroom placements were in reception and key stage one. To Nichole em. I hope your further education goes as planned and I am sure you will do well, I found your communication skills with this age group beyond impressive.😊

    I know they're sad, because this broke my heart. Kids looooooooove their teachers, especially ones that show them love while teaching them. I would try everything in the world to not leave until the end of the school year, if I find myself having to leave, but I understand sometimes that just won't work.

    I taught prek for years and years and I loved how every day my lil students would amaze me. There were no ‘bad kids’ in my classroom, and I see that same approach in your classroom. I know that setting the stage so that children can listen and also express themselves takes such skill. Maybe it isn’t brain surgery, but not everyone can do what you do. You, ma’am are a hero without a cape, as far as I’m concerned, I wish you so well on your continued journey in growing your brain, and may we all continue to learn and grow

    Nice way to break the news. I did something similar but all my first graders got very upset even though I’d be missing only one marking quarter and was definitely returning to them. They had a hard time conceptualizing a school where the teachers were students! In pre-internet days, I showed them by bring a university yearbook that had pictures of different classes. Then we had “let’s go to university lessons,” a role play for parts of lessons. It was interesting to see their perceptions of grad. school!

    Probably around 90% of all teachers leave due to the atrocious behavior of kids these days. The kids arrive hopped up on sugar, or in HS drugs, and have zero interest in learning, and there's usually a few in the class who are openly antagonistic, doing everything they can to upset the teacher and stop any learing from taking place. The main interest for HS students is which new videos to share with each other on their cell phones...and many of those videos are horribly violent.
