Miss Gollub was a wonder with music and art and although those are not my strengths, she encouraged each of us to stretch ourselves into more. To this day when I read a book by Graeme Base to my children, or the Witches by Roald Dahl, when I hear Chopin, when I attempt any new art, craft, or musical endeavor I remember how well she loved each of us and appreciated us for the little people we were, instead of trying to form us into something different. I cried on her shoulder, ran to her when I was hurt and several times a week prayed that she would adopt me as her daughter. Her innate ability to love and give so easily was a big part of the reason I became a teacher. My prayer now is that I am able to share a little of her legacy with the kids I teach and coach.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648541558878208069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-18932153375832154072012-03-27T15:28:04.171-06:002012-03-27T15:28:04.171-06:00I had some great teachers in high school (about ti...I had some great teachers in high school (about time, since I'd had some... less great ones before).

He was a former military man who had lost use of his index finger and pointed with his middle finger. He also had no muscle control on one side of his face and talked with only half his mouth. The first lesson I learned from him was "don't judge a book by it's cover". There were thousands of other things that I learned from that wonderful teacher. He has since passed away, but I hope somewhere, somehow, he knows what he meant to a scared little girl, and how much she appreciates him and his efforts still today.Jennifer in CAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-84645973651990908182012-03-21T16:10:17.821-06:002012-03-21T16:10:17.821-06:00It is so good to read your inspiring post.

I was a C/D student who HATED math (sorry Jill). In 7th grade, she pulled us into a pre-algebra section, gave me a calcuator and I got an A. Yes, I went from a C to an A. It clicked, I can't do all that basic stuff, but the number/letter word problem... that made sense. <br /><br />She truely believed in me, made me believe that I was actually smart and could do things. There was no reason for me to skate through school. I had A/B potential NOT a C/D student. Thank you again Mrs. Robinson! (I did send her a thank you note when I graduated college. I have no idea if she received it, but I hope someway she knows how much she affected my life.)Suzanne Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-85046081174275493492012-03-20T23:36:02.505-06:002012-03-20T23:36:02.505-06:00My 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Pedraza had a library i...My 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Pedraza had a library in her class that we could visit as soon as our work was done. I loved that she made reading a reward, and not a requirement. I loved my senior English teacher, because he let us explore ourselves and our learning. We would read a book, and he would give us prompting questions throughout the book, but at the end we would come together and the students would discuss what we did or did not like. The only time he would interrupt is if/when we would start arguing. He let us take charge of our own learning, and I loved that. I also decided to become a teacher because of my 4th grade teacher, who was so mean. She called me stupid one day for not understanding long division. I promised myself that I would become a teacher to help students learn, not to make them feel stupid.Natalie Evershedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968740977331668197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-70535782112797890812012-03-20T22:45:44.524-06:002012-03-20T22:45:44.524-06:00Love this blog posting!

My favorite teacher when I was young was Mrs. Edelman, whom I had for second grade and also for science the next few years. She taught with so much passion and enthusiasm, and made everything an adventure she seemed to be on for the very first time. She introduced us to other cultures, and later as a science teacher, to other realms. And she was funny as can be. It sounds as if you are exactly that kind of once in a lifetime teacher to your kids.K A B L O O E Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995547356428809262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-7629022219690418672012-03-20T16:52:24.182-06:002012-03-20T16:52:24.182-06:00I had to re read your post because I had a Ms. St....I had to re read your post because I had a Ms. St. Onge in 9th grade history!
