As we have ALL had wonderous teachers in our lives, what would be one thing that you could do, say, or post about your favorite teacher or teachers throughout your academic career?
_______________________________________________________________________
Personally, I have so many things that could be written here. In St. Boniface, 2nd grade I was pushed to win the Addition Train competition in 1 day. In 5th grade, I rebelled against long division just like most students. It sure taught me how to do it though. In 8th grade, sentence diagraming made this writing a "cakewalk." In Edwardsville High School, shop class helped me get closer to my dad who was s sheet metal maintenance man. As an upperclassman, advanced accounting and computer programming brought my natural gifts that had been hiding for so many years. Then at Western Illinois University, Macomb, Illinois, my professors guided me toward a career in public service. Little did they know at the time that it would end up back in a classroom servicing the type of student I was my whole life as a student with special needs due to a physical disability.
So here we stand now, thinking back on our favorite teachers. There are many more I could mention, but the blog would never end. I hope this helps spur some memories.
To my fellow educators, HAVE A GREAT TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!!!!!!!
