We all worked well together and frequently the offenders would tell me that they were less likely to cause problems in their pod after one of my classes. One day a younger offender started crying and said that the classroom was the only place he felt equal to everyone else. I cried and I saw several of the "rough and tough" guys wiping their eyes.
A good relationship in all aspect of our lives makes everything brighter and easier. My 11 year old granddaughter told me "my other nana treats me like I am a dumb little kid and you treat me like I am your partner". That is one of the nicest compliments I have ever had.
Another good example would be our partnership when we were commenting in the Politics forum. That was so much fun and I looked forward to it each day.
