Children Share Heart-Breaking Stories With Their Teacher

#1 A Denver, CO teacher asked her children to write her a note

Kyle Schwartz works at Doull Elementary in the Rocky Mountain state, and she wanted her kids to let her know something that would help her know them better.

#2 The Weight of What the Kids Wrote Surprised Her

Everybody wants the best for their children, but the reality is that kids struggle just as their parents do.

#3 The Things Kids Say

It is heartbreaking when you find out the realities that hide behind a child's innocent smile, and we hope Kyle Schwartz does not take these emotional responsibilities on herself.

#4 More Teachers Should do This

Losing a parent is always difficult, and sixth grade is far too young.

#5 The Power of Silence...

Writing often reveals our inner-most thoughts and feelings, it is why diaries are so therapeutic.

#6 No Pencils, No Homework

Ms. Schwartz undoubtedly lent this student a few pencils to take home. At least that's our hope.

#7 Nice Try, Buster

This kid is going to get the no-headphones policy rescinded all on his own. You sneaky sun of a gun.
