I teach, and something similar happened to me recently. It can be really upsetting, but nothing helps like a sincere apology.

That was really sweet. :]

as far as i know, i've only made one teacher cry, and it was for writing a corny poem about spring. but i saw that same teacher cry when my class collectively stressed her out and we found out she had a miscarriage and and and it was awful

It is AWESOME! I love the expresions and the bittersweet ending. :) thanks for the comics!
