Simple but believable in its truths, I want more faulty human errors of emotions and that inner voice confessing some profound lesson... otherwise this was alright...kudos.

Like a teacher of science You so nicely show the differences between a good teacher and a bad teacher. In fact teachers have the greatest impact in shaping the character of a child.The teachers should be inspiring, caring, loving and should always be with positive in their approach.The attitude of a teacher very much influence a child.It is why child psychology is in included in most Teachers'training programmes

Your frank comments on teacher reveal your honest mind. It shows how you care for good teacher-student relationship. A good teacher is a friend, philosopher and guide. A good teacher teaches the least and he inspires. best wishes from me

Sylvia - Thanks for the precise advice. It's easy to forget some days, where our minds should be. I teach special education here in Montgomery, Alabama. You can read about my kids in 'Off the Record' or 'Gone Fishing' if you like. Once again thanks for all these wonderful reminders! Cheryl Lynn
