Even though my last day at Kilgore College is not until next Thursday, my students wanted to give me a little going away party. They had taken up a donation and purchased some pizza from Little Caesar's and we had lunch instead of our normal writing class. They also bought me a card and a little trophy as a gift. The trophy has the lamp of knowledge on it and a little plaque that says..."Mr. English, You Have Made The Difference!" written on it. The card also had some nice things written in it as well.
As a teacher, it feels good to be appreciated for what you do. It's sad that most of the 6th-8th Grade students I taught in the public schools didn't or won't always appreciate you until later. At least these students value a good teacher now.

They were just trying to get out of having an actual classwork day. You went right along with it.

That was certainly a nice thing they did for you. To big doofus' point, you can have them make up the class work by assigning it as additional homework :-).
