Where the phrase, "You can't judge a book by its cover," comes from.

Remember if you had to wipe away a tear that does not mean you are soft.

It means you are human.

And these are the kinds of stories that make me proud to be a human being.

      St. Francis High School. I didn't use the Google Machine but very most likely Catholic.

      His classroom is at St Frances High School. While I prefer the separation of religion, education and government, it is what it is.

      I think you're missing the point of the story.

  3. I'm not even sure I can type this as I can't see the keyboard for the tears running down my face. Forgive any typos.
    What an incredible, incredible man.
    Who said this? "You must be the change you want to see." So true here. I want to be Jim Connor. What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

    Wonderful story, but I have to disagree with him on one thing. Learning should have an element of fun (especially math!). It IS fun to learn.
