What’s the kindest thing a teacher has done for you?
I really struggled with my math quiz and ended up getting just 30.25% because I forgot my folder at home, and I typically rely on my notes during quizzes (which I’m allowed to do). When my teacher handed back the quiz, they offered me the chance to retake it to improve my score. I’m planning to do that tomorrow!

Best of luck with the retake tomorrow—you’ve got this!
