| Sumario: | This article, titled "Lessons Ending in Allegheny Plum," discusses the unexpected lessons that the author, a teacher, has learned from their students. The author reflects on the challenges faced by adolescents, such as dealing with a dying father or experiencing homophobic slurs at school. These lessons were not what the author intended to teach or learn, but they are the realities that they share with the reader. The author suggests that these lessons may continue to evolve, with different challenges and epithets, but they will remain as difficult and unpleasant as an Allegheny plum.
