There is a story many years ago of an elementary teacher.
Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front
of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school,
she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked
at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible, because there in the front row,
slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.
Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed
that he didn't play well with the other children, that
his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a
bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking
his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then
putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.

At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required
to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's
off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she
was in for a surprise.
Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright
child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and
has good manners. He is a joy to be around."
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent
student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled
because his mother has a terminal illness and life at
home must be a struggle."

His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death
has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his
father doesn't show much interest and his home life will
soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."
Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn
and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have
many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was
ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students
brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons
and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present which
was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he
got from a grocery bag.
