That wouldn't be permitted in this day and time and isn't that a shame because she was so kind and sincere.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-31321143336175800782013-06-04T18:29:17.496-04:002013-06-04T18:29:17.496-04:00I remember my best, & have purposely forgotten...I remember my best, & have purposely forgotten my worst.

She says when trying to get a point across to a student sometimes they look so puzzled, then all at one it's like a light bulb has been turned on as they grasp the meaning of what she is trying to get across to them.Makes her happy to see them do that.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157512726495946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-21485206376680903482013-06-04T13:57:16.312-04:002013-06-04T13:57:16.312-04:00Jack, I would have loved to sit in that class with...Jack, I would have loved to sit in that class with you to hear George Vhooris. He was a fantastic Bible teacher. Gifted. Dynamic. And as you pointed out - a spell-binder. You also have that knack for keeping an audience's attention. Our G-daughter (Chloe) will never forget your visit with us.

Dar and Bill had also stopped by with Syrus and he was so awe struck by you. You could see the light in his eyes as he watched your every move and listened to your every word, you even had me in awe. You can truly tell when someone enjoys what they do and I saw that in you. Don't ever stop being you because you are one of the sweetest, caring and fun loving guys I have ever met, with a wife who is just as sweet! It reminded me of the old days sitting around and talking with my Grandpa... <br /><br />Enjoy your day and don't ever change!<br /><br />SaraSara S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15106369423735994199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-5399535579195959392013-06-04T09:12:16.938-04:002013-06-04T09:12:16.938-04:00I had one teacher that took the time and understoo...I had one teacher that took the time and understood that my shyness was what was holding me back. To all , especially Jack, I TRULY WAS SHY. I can't say the same any more. At times I am to out spoken and hear about it. This teacher took the time to help me understand that I could do the work but just needed the confidence.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-29071009858162264692013-06-04T06:11:34.631-04:002013-06-04T06:11:34.631-04:00Congrats to your niece for getting that award! I ...Congrats to your niece for getting that award! I have several teachers in my family and I know what a tough job it can be. Teaching kids today involves a whole lot more than the basic 3 R's for sure. A good teacher makes all the difference. But yes, they do need the support and backing from the parents too. Parents are the first teachers kids have and their job isn't easy either. But when they work together it surely does help.

I was honored to be assigned to the job of caring for my favorite teacher in her last days. She remembered me from years before and she said it was comfort knowing it was me coming in to care for her. I will never forget her kind, gentle teaching methods. I will always remember her fondly.<br />'love & hugs from afar'Cher' Shotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946818491901881410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-58751306186530444172013-06-03T21:53:12.765-04:002013-06-03T21:53:12.765-04:00I agree we need some great teachers - but we need ...I agree we need some great teachers - but we need to pay them more. My daughter has worked 5 years without a raise. And her paycheck is even lower because they make them take mandatory furlough days.
