These chapters were probably my favorite because the story is starting to be more about the students than about just Erin. The most influential part for me in this section of the book was when they got off of the bus. Here they are coming back from doing something so spectacular in Washington to getting question about a racist act. I couldn't believe how Erin was able to handle the situation. As a teacher I wouldn't know what to say to the students. Some people say that silence is sometimes the best in situations like that because there really is no words for things sometimes.
This book is showing me that there are going to be so many situations where the kids are going to be looking to me for answers and I'm afraid that I won't have them. There's more to being a teacher than just answering math homework problems, that's just a small portion of the answers I'm going to be asked.
