Even though we try to keep a professional distance, we become involved with the family over time, it warms my heart to see single mothers or struggling families make it, get good jobs, and get off public assistance.

You may love the kids and the parents, but you need to keep a professional distance, children will come and go, things happen in families, and while you want to be there to support the family, you can’t let them devastate you.

Keep everything you know about the kids confidential, we hear lots of stuff—that daddy hit mommy, that grandpa left grandma for a younger woman. If kids are comfortable and love their teachers, and most of them do, they'll say what’s on their mind. And that could be that daddy left town or is in jail.
