As a new teacher in Denver, Kyle felt that there was something she didn’t know about her students. She thought up a lesson plan called “I Wish My Teacher Knew.”
For the activity, Kyle’s students wrote down a thought for their teacher and shared something they’d like her to know about.
The students loved this idea. Many of them were not only willing to include their names, but also enjoyed sharing it with the class.
“I wish my teacher knew I don’t have pencils at home to do my homework,” one wrote.
“I wish my teacher knew I don’t have friends to play with me,” another shared.
“I wish my teacher knew sometimes my homework is not signed (签名) because my mum is not around a lot,” read another.
After she learnt most of her students led heartbreaking lives, Kyle shared some of the notes on social media. She hoped other teachers would use the same lesson with their own students. Soon posts and photos of notes from other schools poured in(涌入) from around the world.
“After one student shared that she had no one to play with at break, the next day during break I noticed she was playing with a group of girls. Not only can I support my students, but my students can support each other,” said Kyle.
Kyle’s story won the hearts of many people.
“I take my hat off to this teacher. It must have been heartbreaking after reading these stories.”
“If every person did one nice thing for someone, no matter how small, the world would be a better place.”

I remember the day that I was changed into a new class and I felt unwanted.
The first day that I was in my class, my table didn’t talk to me and I didn’t either. The next day in that class, the teacher let me sit next to this girl who had her pierced ears, lips and nose. She said, “You’re new to class, aren’t you? Well, my name is Ashley.” I looked at her for a second and then said, “Hi.” She knew that I was shy. She introduced me to the rest of the table loudly, who didn’t look nice, but then again I thought Ashley was wild when I saw her up close.
That whole week the other girls at my table would look at me like a hungry animal who was to kill its prey (猎物) and they whisper to one another about my looks and how I wasn’t wanted in this class.
One day I felt upset and Ashley asked, “What’s wrong?” I didn’t answer but she found out that I went through bullying (威逼), and depression. Then I told her what was up. She said, “I thought you were a rich girl with good grades and no problems, but I was wrong.” The rest of the table heard about the real me and they apologized for what they had said.
Later, Ashley introduced me to new people who had gone through the same things that I had. Thanks to Ashley, I was no longer alone in the world. And that same day I met Perla, my best friend now, who taught me not to judge others on their appearance. I really understood it from Ashley.
