Tristan,

Thank you so much for your kind response.  One of the things teachers struggle with is teaching beyond our curriculum.  I do teach leadership, but I also teach calculus.  Interestingly, I don't think the most important things I teach them have anything to do with calculus.  Your choices of strength, kindness, courtesy, and honor are so valuable in a world where role models favor greed, selfishness, and lack of integrity.  I will take your suggestions to heart and share them with my colleagues.  Our children see and hear far more than we think, and as was true in my case, the lessons can last a lifetime.
