Dear Teacher,
Today, I give you my son.
Today, I give you my son.
I give him to you, hoping deep within that you recognize how much he is
loved and
cared about; that he is being entrusted to you to build into a person of confidence, pride, generosity, and self esteem; that you will prepare him to face the harsh winds of life armed with knowledge, strength, and judgment.
cared about; that he is being entrusted to you to build into a person of confidence, pride, generosity, and self esteem; that you will prepare him to face the harsh winds of life armed with knowledge, strength, and judgment.
He has looked to me for answers and guidance and now he will look to you, his teacher. Please see him for what he is- the future of our family and the future of the world. When your job is complete, he will be a man. He will go forward in life carrying the tools that were forged by you.
And so today, and for many days to come... I give you my son.
