Schoolteachers that Influence

[SINthysist]

I hated school. I was always way ahead of my classmates and held them in great disdain. I hated the teachers. Never had much use for them. Didn't see why I was being held back on account of the others.

Trained with a college professor who inspired me to resume my education and get my degree. I'll never forget him because he came up blue-collar like I did.

Hated college. Hated having the textbooks read to me. Had one good math professor and one good economics professor. Had one memorable history teacher, one of the truly lunatic left. It was only his antics that made him memorable (and his doctoral thesis on the spanking of boys in England).

I still hate school. Rather study on my own.

Well, if I had poor-me-teach as a teacher, he would have been a prime target on my hit list.

Re: Burn out.

This is turning into a book. Think I'll sneak out now.

I thought you weren't coming back. Nice to see that you're a man of your word to top it all off.

I had several really wonderful teachers. Third grade- Sister Mary Francis... 6th Grade Mrs. Segel. High School- Mr. Deku. He really encouraged me to express myself in writing and gave me a strong desire to read. I think I took most all of his classes through HS. He really did make an impression on me.

Funny I remember them after all these years, but, all had great influence.
