In the article "What Students Really Need To Hear" by teacher C. Mielke, he writes to his students about how much he truly cares about them, not just their grades and test scores. I do see this with some of my teachers at Blue Valley. It is easy to tell when a teacher truly loves their job and their students versus when they do not. I believe Mielke is trying to say that students should appreciate their teachers more for the unconditional support they try to give. He also wants his students to realize that school is more than just homework and tests. The "Main Event" he is alluding to appears to be learning how to deal with adversity. There are many things that go on within a school like stress and gossiping, but people need to learn how to pick themselves up and deal with it, in order to be successful in life. I think this is what Mielke is trying to convey to his students.
