Whatever happened to “an apple for the teacher”? I suppose it wasn’t ever the actual thing that comics made it out to be. Certainly didn’t happen around me in the 50s and on.
I love Mrs Olsen. It’s here type of teachers that really lay a base for children’s acceptance of education. She cares. I was not tough like her when I was a teacher. But, I knew a few of my colleagues who were. I knew they were good for the children, and the children learnt that too, by and by…
Yup, did that. We potted a lady slipper and gave it to our daughter’s kindergarten teacher. She sent back a lovely note. She replanted it and let us know it’s a protected plant. We shouldn’t have dug it up!
@ms72 My mom was a realtor back in MA. She dug up a bunch from a lot that was going to be developed and planted them in our yard. She knew she shouldn’t but figured they’d be torn up the the ‘dozers otherwise.

Less frustrating, or more palatable, than Holden.
