The Inspiration of an Educator
“Everyone who remembers his or her own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.”
-Sidney Hook
Think back to your own educational experiences. Perhaps there was a teacher that inspired you to become a teacher...perhaps there was a teacher who changed the course of your life for the better. For me, it was my high school English teacher, Mrs. Johnson. I wasn't what one might refer to as a model student. Behaviorally, I was immature and disruptive, academically, I was able but not willing. In one very matter of fact meeting after Mrs. Johnson's class one day, my course was changed. To steal and enhance a line from A Christmas Story: She wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space somewhere over [Minidoka Dam]. That was all it took for me. Not that I would encourage any of you to take this approach; however, you guys are the kind of educators that will be remembered, you are the heart of our educational system here at PHS, for that, I thank you!
