Tonight I went to hear Dr. Adolf Brown speak about bullying at John B. Dey for his program called "one love". Dr. Brown is a national speaker and one special thing about him is that he graduated from Virginia Beach Public Schools. For me, the most compelling part of his program was when he called his third grade teacher (who was his teacher at Newtown Road Elementary) and put her on speaker phone. They chatted about how they both made a difference in each others lives. I always think that no student will remember me because I can't remember my own kindergarten teacher, but knowing that a student and teacher are still in touch after all these years is really inspiring!
