"In the last three days, no one has told me I'm mean, no one has thrown anything at me, and no one has cried when I told him he couldn't use the computer. It's been a blissful escape."

I did a mental catalogue of teachers I remember and thought of the varying qualities that caused them to remain in my memory bank. A 4th grade teacher was "strict" -she "made" me master long division. A 5th grade teacher taught sentence diagramming with such clarity that I found it fascinating and fun. A high school teacher of modern European history challenged us and held us to meet reading, analysis and writing standards I had not heretofore encountered. A biology teacher inspired enthusiasm in a dissection class with succinct words of praise, "You have a good eye for detail."
"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." ~Henry Brooks Adams
