How wonderful for her to set the bar high rather than teach down! I hope I do that with my son and not just lope thru the day at a slower, lower level - but lovingly challenge him!<br /><br />thank you<br /><br />Stef<br />the hsvStef https://www.blogger.com/profile/13084985443739233183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041474346805140660.post-40655976293405815032010-09-30T11:44:24.665-05:002010-09-30T11:44:24.665-05:00Love the hair, especially because it reminds me of...Love the hair, especially because it reminds me of how I wore mine one year, but a lot less length in the back - a mullet want-to-be perhaps?<br />Also, such a blessing to have great teachers who have helped you become who you are today. I'm sure twenty years from now, your children will feel the same way about you as you strive to do your best by them, and follow the Lord's guidance.Doriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179813434836257858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041474346805140660.post-71177585272854128082010-09-30T11:32:56.544-05:002010-09-30T11:32:56.544-05:00Aw!

He had two rules in his class: 1. People will be treated with respect in this class at all times; 2. Each of you is a people. He followed his rules, too. And then he proceeded to tell us to put our text in our locker and not lose it; we were going to need to turn it in at the end of the year but it was out of date and irrelevant. He also mysteriously was replaced the following year... Hm. Guess respect rather than control and real teaching rather than regulated text didn't sit well with the powers that were. Strange that an against-the-grain kinda guy would be my fave instructor, huh?? ;PBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817929953380695272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041474346805140660.post-81342945597032862942010-09-30T11:27:07.065-05:002010-09-30T11:27:07.065-05:00Shh, I still have said "fluffy thing" in...Shh, I still have said "fluffy thing" in my closet.

He taught math. He was great at it, and he knew when to be serious and when to lighten up. <br /><br />If Mrs. Bishop's first name is Judy (and I suspect it is), she was my mom's best friend in high school!! I know her, and I am sure she was an excellent teacher.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222975799154875288noreply@blogger.com
