What can a good teacher do? |

A lot of teachers are feeling pretty discouraged these days. While chatting with a former grade school teacher recently she said: "You know. 30 years ago kids were nicer, calmer and they listened to us. Now, it's a different story. Teachers are dealing with kids who are jacked up on sugary breakfasts and lunches and fed preservative filled foods for dinner. They are angrier and more agressive, but we are not allowed to discipline for fear of being sued by parents - or fired. And here we stick 40 kids into a room with one teacher and then tell her she's doing something wrong. I'm glad I retired."

(Dedicated to ‘Mom’; who continues helping me put the pieces together.)
When I was a young girl, mom would lay out jigsaw puzzles in an open, congregating area of our home. The sound of cardboard tumbling inside a box enticed us with delight as younger brother and I squealed with amusement. The fact that 1000 gloss-coated pieces was a task far over our 7 and 8 year old heads; nor the amount of days it would take to complete it, never subdued our excitement. All we saw was a work of art painted on top of the box, and with that we knew no barriers. Mom was our leader in this architecture and we listened attentively as she instructed us.

This morning my girl left the house with an awesome outfit: A Swim Team t-shirt, yellow capri's and knee high purple argyle socks. I thought, "Huh. She might get made fun of in that outfit." Then I thought, "She won't care." And she won't.
