That's never happened to me before. I think they simply couldn't help caring about these characters. This was a small class though bc it's hybrid, so I'll be testing that theory in the fall with a regular sized class.Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-77828003039745022472012-06-07T16:11:58.187-05:002012-06-07T16:11:58.187-05:00I too, had to read through my tears several times....I too, had to read through my tears several times.
