This chapter makes me think of all of the positive (and negative) teachers influences i've had in my life. I immediately think of one, my 4th grade teacher, who was the best! She really took a personal interest in my life, and helped me through a very though time with my family. To this day, I remember her when I'm working with my kiddos. I try and remember what she did for me, and how I could make a difference in other children's lives.
I am a huge believer that a good teacher can impact children's lives and move beyond the home barriers. Yes it is difficult of children are coming to school hungry, but a good teacher will catch this and do something about it early on. In my opinion, this is part of what being a good teacher is.
