I have seen him several times since I graduated and it always make my heart soar to visit with him. He is incredible! You are absolutely correct. The things I will always remember about him have nothing to do with art or drama. He is a wonderful friend. <br /><br />You'll have that experience one day, when one of your students finds you, and I hope it's awesome!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888242466359929076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-22522809123153284662010-04-23T23:14:40.897-04:002010-04-23T23:14:40.897-04:00I love this post.

I was 51 years old at the time!<br /><br />The teachers that stand out in my mind are those who made the extra effort to show they cared. To me, that is what teaching...and life...is all about.Ellen Marie "Mama" Pikehttp://www.mamapikeshappyhome.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-36818018442979549532010-04-23T08:32:00.802-04:002010-04-23T08:32:00.802-04:00I work in a K-12 school- used to teach the first g...I work in a K-12 school- used to teach the first grade and have been here 20 years so I have had the gift- and it really is one of the main reasons I love this school- of seeing boys grow up- graduate- and return frequently. hugs a go go- and lots of news- wonderful!melhutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091888266826598375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-5434956896522891452010-04-21T16:33:59.208-04:002010-04-21T16:33:59.208-04:00Beautiful!

I think what you do is amazing, and it's nice to hear that you really want to impact these kids.

Ex:"Today's dirt is clean dirt; if it's there, tomorrow, it's dirty dirt!" -- Mr. Wright.<br />Just saying hello to a fellow "SITSta!" Love your blog.

I'm kinda jealous of high school teachers for that very reason - you get to see what becomes of your students much more quickly than an elementary teacher.<br /><br />And Melissa, that bill is all kinds of wrong!

If we move back to Florida, I am going to look up my teachers. <br /><br />I do remember some things they taught me, but I remember their statements of belief in me more than anything. My journalism teacher pushed me to go to an International Baccalaureate program when no one else was. I met my future husband there! I wonder what he would think of my blog...<br /><br />I'm so glad to read your posts. Your heart is so obviously in your work. It gives me a lot of confidence in sending my own children to school. <br /><br />Did you hear about the mess in Florida? They were trying to pass a bill to wage teacher's salaries on how well their students did on standardized tests. I don't think it was passed, but perhaps they should look to parents instead of teachers for better state scores.Melissahttp://www.lovemedaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-69074856432648002542010-04-19T21:15:03.843-04:002010-04-19T21:15:03.843-04:00I got to see some of my former students recently- ...I got to see some of my former students recently- the oldest of them having just graduated from college and quite a few who are juniors in high school.

As a "veteran" teacher, I've had the pleasure of hearing from many of my former students and in fact, I consider myself fortunate to now count some of them as dear friends.<br /><br />Because I teach high school, I meet students as they are preparing to go out into the world as young adults and many keep me updated on their lives long after they graduate. <br /><br />The bond between a teacher and his or her students is an important one, which is why I strive professionally to foster a positive and supportive teacher/student relationship and am so pleased when that relationship grows beyond the classroom into a friendship after graduation.<br /><br />I truly believe that the most important thing we can give our students is our respect and understanding!C'est Moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739845756490649638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24258125.post-72088683160763901682010-04-19T19:29:53.102-04:002010-04-19T19:29:53.102-04:00I think you are right, I don't remember what I...I think you are right, I don't remember what I was taught specifically but I remember that they cared and that I was important. <br /><br />I love my kids teachers. I really want them to know how much they have added to our lives. <br /><br />Thanks for your input on my blog.
