So ends the semester. It was lots of fun and very much a return down memory lane. The last time I was teaching in a classroom was 1988. Of course I coached each and every year of the 30 years in education so I always had contact with students. Teaching students is was more rewarding than teaching teachers. Sorry to all you teachers out there, but kids are just more fun and spontaneous.
The Taylor's student remind me very much of the Pius students in the early 80's before full funding altered the landscape. Perhaps because it is a private school and therefore somewhat elitist as Pius was in the 70's and 80's. There is a sense of belonging and purpose that permeates the school. The teachers are extremely dedicated and involved in the lives of their students, again very much like Pius.
Tonight I will celebrate with a beer and maybe a trip to Sunway Pyramid for dinner. At times I miss the various forms of TGI? and the gang at East Side Marios. That would be the 3 chimps, Francis and Doogie. It would be a great celebration.
TTYL,
Jim
