I really like this, but I also need to nitpick a bit. The phrase "shall be given" makes it sound like it is an option in the classroom. From our conversations so far, I have a very different take on the type of classroom you strive to bring to life. It seems to me that you believe very strongly that students have a basic human right to certain experiences and relationships in the classroom. Don't shy away from that. They make your teaching even more real than it already is.
Thank you for your comments!
