Doodle Town by Melissa Lomax for March 04, 2024

This retired teacher thanks you.

Picked directly from the “Learning” Tree.

Doodlers too!

I’d say just about everyone has had teachers that have helped them more than they’ll ever know. Thank you, Teachers. You’re the best.

You betcha! And, one of them went from “eighth grade teacher of history”, to “Professor of History”!!! Smart, kind, funny & he deserves that Doctorate!!!

I had a math teacher in my second year of secondary (I think in the US would be middle school), who told us about the exams he had to take to have a work as teleprompter in a ver important TV station, that maked me about to take school seriously.

Yeah, that’s an optimistic thought to draw on.

Thank you Mrs Petron, Mr Bohrman, Mrs Webb, Mrs Gasparini, Mr Roa, Mr Dunham, Mr MIller, Mr Bruce, Dr Gulassa, Dr Crosby, Dr Bell, Dr Parminder, Dr Watson……

My mom is just one of those millions of great teachers who were completely devoted to their students. She retired after 30 years and then subbed for another 15. We used to run into her students in public sometimes. The little ones were so shocked to see her outside the classroom, and eventually there were students who grew up to have children of their own that became her students as well. That’s a long legacy to look back on and she’s still with us.

I went to my first grade teacher’s funeral. Afterward I spoke with her caregiver and found out I was in her VERY first class, and that there had been a picture of that class on her piano all of her teaching years. She loved us as much as she was loved.
