You get one of the most important things about teaching...you can't teach anything until you make a connection with your student and they know you care. Once you have that the rest falls into place. You've done that with Mark and he is better for it. Congratulations you're a teacher now and making a difference!jillytacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621855217136876048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263927894612229534.post-84738145955218971022008-08-28T14:10:00.000-07:002008-08-28T14:10:00.000-07:00I've always said that teachers never get paid enou...I've always said that teachers never get paid enough because when you think of it, being able to teach us so that we learn how to read, spell, do math, etc...is priceless!!

I see this same attitude in my daughter. It's a real gift, because, as you say, people don't go into teaching for the financial rewards!<BR/>I'm catching up here and wanted to tell you I just read an article in the paper yesterday about the halibut fishing in Homer! Looks like it's renowned for that!<BR/>I know you'll both enjoy the trip!<BR/>xoxoSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024132046092264711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263927894612229534.post-47543184976340905602008-08-28T08:22:00.000-07:002008-08-28T08:22:00.000-07:00You are wonderful, Pattie!
