some linger at the end looking for a way to say goodbye more personally. it is very kind of them. weirder are the few failing that write me and ask if I can find it in me heart to pass them. they often offer ample flattering remarks as if I am a paper airplane. just fold me once and I fly. tell me I’m great and I will pass you. really? makes me think I failed to teach anything or the world is such that certain people can’t learn past their bias.
