You mean Mrs. Robinson, my first grade teacher?
...thanks for reminding me how maladjusted I am.
A colorful box with stiff card stock reading materials that you completed by yourself? Gradually increasing difficulty? I loved that program as a kid. I thought the materials that were included were really interesting and well written, I looked forward to every one. I hope today's kids have something similar.
Are you a left hander living in a right handed world like me? I remember having trouble with the shoelace thing also.
I had to use scissors upside down and write with my hand crooked way around and above the paper to avoid smearing the ink from the cartridge refill fountain pens we had to use.
The only teacher I remember pre-highschool was my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Doverspike. I'm only 29 so I don't have to think back as many years as most of you yet I still only remember one name before 9th grade. I guess that's why I failed most of my tests, no memory.
6th: Mrs. Moorhead
Your story of high school boys enamored with a lady teacher reminded me of my days as a subsititute teacher. I used to substitute on an occasion call-in basis when I first graduated from college. I was called in to do 6 weeks of full time for 9th grade Algebra and General Math to replace a teacher out for surgery. I dressed in a way that I thought was conservative to try to look older than my age of 21. Yeah right....One year I, and all my buddies, took typing because the teacher had a real "rack". Somehow the guys always got the keys jammed up and she had to come over, bend over the typewriter and undo everything. Don't know how anyone passed that class...
What a character he was. A natural leader who is probably a company president now.
