I was raised in Vermont up til 8 years old. I attended a one room school house in 1st and 2nd grade. There were 30 children, grades 1 - 6. I was the only 1st grader and the following year the only 2nd grader. I have no idea what Mrs Black was paid but it was probably no where near enough! I don't remember what she looked like but I do remember how smart she made me feel, the self-confidence she instilled and she smelled good. lol, odd thing to remember I guess.
I had many good teachers after her, a few great ones and a one who never should have been a teacher. But all of them helped make me who I am .....
Thank you to all teachers everywhere who put up with both the good kids and bad, the smart ones and those needing help, and thank you for your unending patience and encouragement. You are fantastic!!
