Facebook From Student’s Boyfriend !

I wanted to share this message I received on Facebook from the boyfriend of a student who was in my class during the Spring 2012 semester:

Good evening Mr. Mann I’m sorry if I am bothering  you by writing you this, but I would like to thank you so much for helping Crisneily to develop some good skills in writing. She told me that you were very strict in class, that’s something that a lot of people think is not good and they’re wrong. She got mad a lot of times, brainstorming and much more trying to figure out how to do a better job for you, I always told her this, “If your professor is going hard on you, it’s because he wants you to learn and you will never learn  if you dont pay attention to what he says in the classroom. If he makes you work a lot on your essays, don’t feel bad. He is just preparing you to be better tomorrow.”

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Mr. Oliver; you are a great person!
