His mom says she doesn't want him to come home.
His step-dad gets violent when he drinks.
Her emotions are all-consuming.
She is so overwhelmed with the pressures of school that death seems to be a viable option.
His mom is ashamed of him; she's so ashamed of him that he's a pariah in his own home.
They're hurting.
They're entrusted to my care.
And I have to grade their essays. Before Monday.

You are an amazing teacher.
I second Kimberly. You have more patience in your little finger than I do in my whole body. Thank you for teaching, Sherry.
