“2 teach is 2 touch lives 4ever.” (Sent by Laura B) A recent article ranked Michigan Elementary Schools from best to worst…1452 of them. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t go to any “top” schools, yet I had some great teachers. Children generally succeed because of their teacher. Technology and class-size are fine, but, in the end, a teacher who is knowledgeable and can motivate is “the best.” Miss Erickson was like that for me. Did you have one? ;-) Jack
FROM PEPPERMINT MARY: mrs. korell is my earth angel. she was my 5th grade teacher and the mother of a dear friend so i had the gift of knowing her outside of school as well. she just celebrated her 101st birthday!====JACK: Your song for today!
Earth Angel, Earth Angel...
I fell for you and I knew The vision of your love, loveliness
I hope and I pray that someday I'll be the vision of your happy, happiness
FROM HONEST JOHN: I was fortunate to have some great teachers at all levels....Augie was a wonderful place for me....the Sem was a major disappointment. Your point is well taken. ====JACK: I had only one pastor before I was ordained, and, fortunately, he was a good teacher, preacher and friend. On the whole, my seminary professors were good ones, too.
FROM AA: you would love mine ... Mrs Lord====JACK: I suppose that when she gave commandments, you and the others paid attention.
FROM GUSTIE MARLYS: I had more than 1—small towns are the best!!! ====JACK: A school is only as good as its teachers. Small towns , like Lake Woebegone, are places "where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."====MARLYS: You got that right! Ha! Teachers that teach in small towns do it out of love for teaching—OK—some of them could not get into a big city and they need a job—but most of them stay for years which they do not have to do. I had some wonderful teachers!
FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY: There were no school teachers who really stood out to me but I had a wonderful Sunday school teacher. Mrs. Woike made a huge difference in my life. She told me how much Jesus loved me. I had her several different times as a teacher...when I was 4 and when I was 17. She was a blessing!====JACK: Sunday School teachers don't always have the "correct" theology, but the good ones have something more important...a caring heart. Do you remember singing the song...
I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus
Down in my heart
Where?
Down in my heart!
Where?
Down in my heart!
I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus
Down in my heart
Where?
Down in my heart to stay.
