Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Teacher's Help


--by twinkle, posted Apr 9, 2011

A friend of mine, Paul, is training to be a teacher, and during one of his teaching practices, he came across a student who had been refused a place in the higher math course because the student had been ill and missed some of the work.  The tricky thing is that this student is profoundly deaf and 80% blind, so it's no wonder that he had difficulty getting into the higher math course.

Well, Paul, the teacher-in-training, went several times a week and gave this student private math lessons, free of charge.  Not only did this student reach the standard needed, but he is now 2nd in the whole class!

I think Paul did something beautiful, and I am writing to appreciate and tell people about his good deed.
