Bonita, I finally have time to catch up with posts.
IMO, you have done them a tremendous favor! They will remember what it is like. Perhaps next year, they will not be so docile and just "take the traditional" approach. Maybe one of them will start thinking about the book they are required to read and challenge the teacher. We can never afford to have teachers like you who care so passionately wonder if they should give up! Keep on doing it. If you can, look for a district that values what you do so well.
