"Girl, that look like a long island ice tea, a short on the rocks, a po-boy...and some broccoli up there."

(Comment from the back of the class as four of my students eagerly lined up at the board. {i.e. tall/skinny, short/stout, long/chubby...and one bad weave.})

I forget that you're a teacher by profession. God love you. You must have the patience of a damn saint!

I'd last all of 10-minutes with those kids.

Good on you for making a difference!

Remarkably astute, almost poetic metaphors. You are definitely getting through to some, Jason.

Ah, Miss J,
I wish I could take the credit, but that there is a natural gift she's got.
