I am glad you like it, I didn’t realise you were a teacher. I seem to have quite a few teachers following my thoughts.

Lovely photo, Cherie–I like the background. Being a teacher, I really love the quote. Have a nice Sunday. Mickie

I know you are a good teacher. Your students will get the message, if they are up to it…

Students (who want to learn) don’t always fully understand what the teacher is telling them. But they know the teacher is right and want to explore the lessons further

Well it doesn’t work that way when you are teaching quantum chemistry to an introductory class, because I just know for sure that the fine details of atomic and molecular orbitals and orbital hybridisation are not really in those waiting minds already.

I do manage to put them in, but often only briefly.

That is lovely photograph and lovely tribute to your mother, she sounds an amazing woman

The rose is the one I bought as a tribute to my father. I bought it on what would have been his birthday, just after he passed away. I wrote about that day here:

I have not read any Borges and this is only my second Coelho I have also read some Khalil Gibran.

I like your bud Cherie… a symbol of new life… your title “What is a Teacher?… i would like to answer it in my own way:-)
My mother taught the toughest kids in grades 7 and 8 on the rough side of town during most of fourty-five years… i have two sisters who followed in her footsteps…
Here is a tribute to her that i posted in 2010 that might interest you:
