Thank you to a great teacher
you are a great teacher and
the amount of your knowledge is vast
I feel lucky to be able to learn so much
from you and you have the ability
to make me think and see the world
with new eyes
I am forever grateful for what you
have taught me and continue to teach me --
you are a true pioneer, freethinker and genius
and I will always be fascinated by the way
you look at things.....
so thank you not only for being you
but also for being a great teacher --
this knowledge that you have given me
is understood only by a few for now
but maybe someday it will shine again
in its righteous place
much like the rising sun that
comes up every morning
in the meanwhile I will
continue to learn from you.....

Re: Thank you to a great teacher
I am a teacher and from first hand experience, I can tell you that it's a joy to be recognized during Teacher Appreciation Week (hell, any week) for the thankless, unsupported job that we do. It is truly a labor of love.
Praise to all of "us" : )

lead me with a candle
in the darkness of ignorance
I want to meet folks
who teach
I alone share
what I know
and
in reward not a word
nor do I care
to own

re: Re: Thank you to a great teacher
"Lead me with a candle in the darkness of ignorance" -- beautiful words indeed.....
When the right teacher comes along, one has to be ready to receive the gifts offered...... In my case my own ideas and thinking were along the same lines as the knowledge offered, however my teacher connected the dots in just the right way and in ways that I never thought of before myself, and so this knowledge fell on very fertile ground so to speak.... sort of like having the right symbiosis between teacher and student..... ;) ♡♡♡

I still have memories of many teachers from college, high school and even grade school! I respect what they do. It must be such a tough job and they lead a tough life but to make such a large impact on someone's life forever has for to be worth it. Beautiful tribute Scarlet :)

sounds like this person was not only a teacher but even more importantly was an educator.

I have to admit I had to google the difference between teacher and educator..... In my case you are absolutely correct this person is so much more than a teacher to me -- he is a person with great meaning in my life and someone whose imprints on my heart will last many lifetimes....♡♡♡ :)

I don't know if this will help but while I attended UCSB the greatest staff member's influence on me was that of Doctor Hymon Johnson. I would go into his off and the insignificant things that seem to stop me crumbled. Now here is the thing---I was never even in any of his classes. He was an advisor to a presidential campaign I was a part of. He taught in the education department years before I got into education. Happens to be the father of Chuck D's wife.
