| | I had a very strange encounter yesterday. Well, not strange, but just interesting. Enlightening, we'll call it. I was eating at the Nook and one of my old gradeschool teachers came in. (did i dangle a modifier? the teacher isn't old...) she asked if i knew who she was, i said of course i do. then she said "you taught me a lot." she said that when she had my class she was a pretty new teacher and that she learned that not all kids learn the same. "you could be messing with things on your desk and looking all around and still learn and pay attention." two things occured to me:
1. someone finally got it. i got in tons of trouble in grade school because i was always goofing around and distracting other kids and talking and causing trouble. it's just nice to know that other kids will benefit.
2. my teacher was once new. i'm learning, as a new teacher myself, that you usually have no clue what you're doing. but having my teacher, who was one of my favorites, say that she was raw and rough and had to learn something made me feel better about the job i'm doing.
life goes on here in PKUSA, i'm trying to decide what to do with my life.
hope you are having fun,
Sam
