Oh, my God, that article. Yes.

Too many feelings!

Great article. I'm sure you realize not every class can be like that one or like some of the fictions. My So-Called Life's episode where the teacher gets them excited about writing poetry for the Lit magazine. Or even Dead Poets Society. Most teacher's effects will be more subtle but still very important. I paid most attention to math and science classes in school, but I think the seeds my English teacher planted still took root, just took some time to grow. I really admire teachers especially if like you they want to make a difference.

No, I'm not expecting my students to stand on their desks and chant, or anything! I just wish I had some sense that they felt a little differently by the end of the semester.
