I specifically remember him taking Jose s. to see the jail AND then taking him to a nice meal and a stay at a fancy hotel ( I think). He was emphasising consequences for bad choices but also rewards for good choices.

Love you. Laura would be so proud

I’m substitute teaching right now as a side job and there are so many teachers who don’t care like you do. You are an amazing person and I am so honored to know you. Check out this article http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/02/opinion/02engel.html?_r=1&em

I saw it the other day and thought you embody the kind of teacher the nation needs. Good thing you care about these boys. You may be the only male role model they have.
