by the results of my class' midterm grades, I kinda suck at it.)


Hopefully you're mostly kidding .... if not, back up and remember that
'scores' are only a small part of success ... another thing our culture
needs to understand better




It's truly amazing to see how a good teacher or
team can change the lives of kids.



AMEN And let me continue by adding that each of those positively
changed kids is FAR more likely to make positive changes in dozens and
dozens of other lives, over time, not just by teaching but simply by being
'better' What we do, good or bad, spreads out from us and ...yes ...
genuinely changes the world ... our part of it, for sure. As you teach,
remember ( for me:-) that YOU are changing the lives of your students, their
kids, and their grandkids ... and for the better I'm sure, Joe.

in the bed of a pickup, and a fancy animal weighing scale at a show ... and
is going to the Cow Palace soon, I think )
