26. yes, what you say
...may in fact be true. But there was one thing that stood out - those teachers cared about us; They did the best with what they had; whether that be with their 'limited educational knowledge', or just sharing with us that we needed to excel for ourselves, regardless of what "society" had to say about us; What these badly educated teachers in those poorly funded schools offered on a daily basis, was that they cared about us - and conveyed that message of caring, every single segregated school day.
