I was the kid who stared out the window a lot while the teacher was talking. <br /><br />Enjoying your blog and hope to visit more.bZirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086707471450034283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-90883259862107231542010-05-13T17:36:51.658-05:002010-05-13T17:36:51.658-05:00@Bzirk -- were you one of those kids with the &quo...@Bzirk -- were you one of those kids with the "attitude"?

I hope teachers read comments like this and are reminded that it doesn't matter if the kid balks at the time. <br /><br />@phylly, Pat Conroy is one of my favorites, and I was already thinking about rewatching Educating Rita. Must do that sometime soon. Great minds think alike.<br /><br />@Avalon, I second what Phylly said! <br /><br />@Tyme, I would love to talk to some of my teachers now, but I've never gone back to a reunion, and sadly, I'll bet some of them will be gone by the time the next reunion rolls around.bZirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086707471450034283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-66186746527860268172010-05-10T23:40:35.021-05:002010-05-10T23:40:35.021-05:00@Avalon -- that is so sweet!

Well we have something like this too in the states and he purchased me a teacher appreciation poem taped to a bag of popcorn from church for me.

It was so great to talk to them as an adult as opposed as a student. The stories told kept many of us in stitches for the evening.<br /><br />and if Harry Kennedy had been my accounting teacher...I may have done much better with all the "private tutoring" I would have requested!tyme_4_thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550969229826412594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-86497640856967774942010-05-08T00:48:12.503-05:002010-05-08T00:48:12.503-05:00@Nat -- I was always hoping that Snape was not as ...@Nat -- I was always hoping that Snape was not as bad as he appeared to be.<br />@Maria Grazia -- I liked Dead Poet's Society too, but it was so long since I'd seen it, I couldn't remember enough about it to comment on it. Robin Williams was also great in "Good Will Hunting" not as a teacher though, but a psychologist.<br />Thanks for your comments to both of you!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201827858670905900.post-71774901850820914442010-05-07T12:58:11.183-05:002010-05-07T12:58:11.183-05:00It 'd be very dangerous to have a colleague li...It 'd be very dangerous to have a colleague like Mr Armitage... really very dangerous! But not unpleasant at all!Well, actually, it'd be a dream come true...<br />My favourite movie about teachers and teaching is DEAD'S POETS SOCIETY. That's a wonderful moving one. Unforgettable. That final scene always move me to tears. Robin Williams is brilliant!<br />Thanks Phylly for dedicating this blogpost of yours to our tough job! Such a beautiful one.
