Maybe it's the (former) teacher in me, but I loved this quote I read in the book,
Belong to Me by Maris de los Santos page 63:
So that the rest of the day, Dev walked around with the sentence "What Dev said yesterday made me think of this poem" stretched over him, like a rainbow only he could see.That my friends is the power a teacher has over a child and it should never be abused. I was talking with another mom at the pool today and the things she said about her son's teacher this past year made me so sad. She told me about how negative the teacher was toward the children as a group and how rudely she talked to them. This teacher is moving up a grade next year and I'm worried that Thing 1 could end up with her. I have very little control over that but what a sad year it will be if he gets her.
