What One Simple Question Revealed About Our Students
A third-grade teacher asked her students to complete one sentence: "I wish my teacher knew..." The responses were startling. "I wish my teacher knew I don't have pencils at home to do my homework." "I wish my teacher knew my dad got deported." "I wish my teacher knew I'm hungry." When Kyle Schwartz shared these notes on Twitter, #IWishMyTeacherKnew went viral, sparking a global conversation about what happens when we truly see our students. The exercise revealed something profound: behind every child sitting in our classrooms is a complex life we rarely glimpse. Some students arrive hungry. Others are navigating family separations, homelessness, or grief. Many carry burdens we'd never imagine from their classroom behavior. This simple prompt created a bridge between students' hidden realities and teachers' ability to help-not by solving every problem, but by understanding the full human being in front of them. When we know our students deeply, we stop mistaking hunger for defiance, grief for laziness, or trauma for disruption. We begin teaching the child, not just the curriculum.
