Chris wrote: It is so critical that all children learn to be kind and caring. What an inspiration your story is on so many levels. Hoorah for you, first. A student came to you because he trusted you. And hoorah for him for having the courage to want to address this. Hoorah for the student who came forward and wanted to make it right. And the first boy truly forgave him, as evidenced by his willingness to stand up for him. I can see why you were blown away. I am too! Thanks for sharing.
