Thread: Helping a student out

I got a student in my class that loves to go fishing. Just about every day he wants to talk about fishing with me. He is a really good kid and his family doesn't have much. He has told me before, he doesn't care what he is catching as long as he is catching fish. He said he doesn't have very many lures because they are too expensive. This morning I put together a box of some baits and jigs that I have poured over the last few weeks. I tell people all the time, education isn't just about tests and textbooks. It's about helping kids succeed, in the classroom and in life.
