Teacher Kyle Schwartz, of Denver, wanted to get to know her third-graders at Doull Elementary School better, so she asked them to write a note, with the theme "I wish my teacher knew..."
She said she was stunned by their honesty.

The notes she shared through her Twitter account have gone viral, not just around the United States but around the world.
