Brenda and all others
Have a great day today and everyday .........the work you do is so important, the dedication it takes. You try to shape our future, while putting up with a whole lot. From unruly parents & students, to budget cuts. I would quit If I had to work under those conditions. You are the salt of the earth. And do such an important job. God bless our teachers
Maybe Shell will supply you all a shiny red apple :) -

My favorite teacher of all time is my precalculus and calculus teacher from High School. We were with him for two straight years, and he's a pretty intimidating guy at first! At the end of the year, after our AP test for calculus, we took our final for a week and then still had 2 weeks left of school. He took this time to have us watch some movies [one of them called the Dead Poets Society] that got us talking about what college would be like and prepare us for all the differences we would face.
it was awesome to have someone that we trusted and respected asking us questions about problems we could run into at college, such as race, sexual orientation, and prejudices. We all got to talk and express our feelings in a safe environment and it prepared us SO much.
And one of the last days of class, he came in with a box and started handing out T-shirts. Each one said "Dead Calculus Society" on it with math symbols. He told us "here are your graduation presents. you've come through 2 years with me and now you're ready to go out in the world. all i ask is that you wear them to your first college class. And don't ask me to come to your grad party because I have a hard time saying goodbye."
That was probably one of the best moments of my entire high school existence. He instilled not only values and morals, but he made us feel proud of ourselves in only a way that he could.
So hats off to Mr. B c:
[and yes, i still wear my t-shirt!]
Happy National Teachers Day c:

Teachers, if you haven't read the blog on my page before, please do so:)!
Also, I'll never forget the thrill of receiving my first letter from the mailman - my 4th grade teacher sent by USPS a wedding invitation to each and every one of us in her class. We lived in California and the wedding was in Michigan, so she KNEW none of us would go, but what a way to make each of us feel special:)! -

My daughter is going to her 7th grade teacher, 8th grade TA wedding this July. She also talks on myspace to her sex ed teacher. She is so excited to get to high school so that she can talk to her Jr High teachers on myspace.........(not allowed to exchange myspace when they are your teachers.)
What a difference a teacher can make in a childs life.....and a long lasting impression too ! -

Our daughter had an incredible 4th grade teacher, he made such an impact on such young minds. He was voted Teacher of the Year by our state when it was all said and done but one of the many cool things he did for that class was having them write a letter to themselves, what were their goals, what did they want to accomplish in the years ahead?
Upon graduation from high school, he mailed those letters back to the students...8 years later! Most of them still live in the neighborhood so they were able to get together and share those primitive letters that they wrote many years before. It sure gave them plenty to laugh about and many of them - were right on.
Hat's off to Mr. Morris and to all of our teachers that give our students hope, challenge and wisdom. -

Wow - I am sitting here at school as I read this. Thanks, thanks, thanks, sooooo much Mary and the rest of you.
Sometime teaching can seem sooo unrewarding at the time, but there have been MANY, MANY, MANY times that former students come to me and say thank you!!!
I just ran into a girl I taught in my first class ever almost twenty years ago!!! She remembered me and told me how she loved my class.
One boy told me that he used to get so mad at me because of some motivational message I would say all the time (I have forgotten what he said it was now) - but he was a manager of a Target and says that he uses that same message all the time.
I truly got into teaching and sometimes stay here for June, July (not August anymore), two weeks at Christmas, and a week at Thanksgiving and spring break. But - I have always like the words of Christa McCauliff, "I touch the future, I teach." That keeps me going also!!!! -

Bravo Brenda - may your days of ...touching the future outweigh all those other days!

Oh Brenda .......... I have a funny for you I have been meaning to tell you.
The night that we did N4M live feed my 14 year old daughter was looking over my shoulder and she said I just love that Brenda she is so darn funny. So I had to tell her you were an algebra teacher................she was like I knew it !!!
She loves loves Algebra and says every advanced math teacher she has ever had is so cool. So when I tell her something about what someone said at N4M she always asks was it my teacher ? -
