Genny,

This is one of your best posts. I home schooled my two older daughters for 5 years, so I know what it is like to have that responsibility. Additionally, I know how important it is to see every person in your life as a potential teacher. It's when we think we know it all when we lose opportunities to learn.

My seventh grade teacher helped me to love writing...as did a college professor that recognized my ability.

This is really beautifully written Genny. Thank you for reminding me that I should always set a good example. It is easy to get swept up in our own craziness, and sometimes we forget that there is always someone watching.

Wonderful tribute to teachers. I had several teachers that were wonderful and had such a wonderful influence on me. My hubby is a teacher and to me they don't get enough respect or enough thank yous for all of the hard work that they do.

Sometimes I read from various translations as a devotional read. One day many years ago I used The Living Bible as I was reading through Proverbs. I love the way Proverbs 15:2 was written, "A wise teacher makes learning a joy."

Wonderful post, Genny. And thanks for coming by!

Such true words Genny.

Thanks for reminding me of this right before I head out to run errands with my children. To teach first....

I love this post! Mrs. Pletka was my first grade teacher, then taught me in high school later. I still give her a big hug when I see her. Miss Black was way before her time, but sadly, I have lost contact with her. I had an English teacher in college who awakened my love of writing. She made comments on my papers, and encouraged me to keep writing.

Wonderful post! My husband is a teacher and I hear great things about him from people I who don't know I am his wife. It makes me very proud. I also had two amazing teachers who made all the difference in my life. One gave me my love of reading, the other my love of art. I still think of them often.

How true - our lives are filled with teachers even though we're well out of high school. Including those thoughtful bloggers who make us think. Thanks!

Nice Post
makes me think back to some of my favorite unconventional, out of the box teachers. I love that I teach young children and their parents at my day job. But the toughest and most rewarding teaching challenge I will ever face is my own children.
thanks for the thoughts.

2008-06-16T23:36:18.105-07:00

I remember Mr. Sawaya, my 11th grade English teacher who let us read poetry out loud on the lawn and would always discuss Cheers episodes on Fridays. He turned down the lights and played classical music to help us focus before a big exam. He made us read the classics and was a tough grader. Pushing us to be our very best...

Thanks for your post. It made me think about some of the great teachers I've had through the years, in and out of the classroom!

2008-06-16T23:30:58.137-07:00

I agree! I can think of so many who have taught me. And it is a sobering thought that I am teaching my children by all I do -- whether good or bad!

Even though I am no longer a professional teacher ...

2008-06-16T22:25:50.790-07:00

Even though I am no longer a professional teacher by trade right now, that still doesn't mean I can't teach those around me.

What a powerful post!

What a great reminder... Beautifully said, Thanks!...

This is a beautiful post. I had some truly wonderful teachers along the way, both in and out of school, and their impact on my life had a huge bearing on the woman I've grown to be.

Yes they do - all those things. I come from a long line of teachers (grandparents - father - sister). Great post!

Genny,
This is so beautifully written. I had so many great teachers, and I still remember one telling the class that she wished everyone could write as I did....I never had confidence in my writing until then......love, love, loved this post!
