Topic: This is a tribute article written by a former student on a teacher who passed away. I came across it while pursuing my 'unclaimed money' hobby and thought that it needed to be a blog post.
Key Points: Great Teachers Still make a great difference. You don't have to follow the rules to be a great teacher.
Intended Audience: For the general public, but should be read by those who aspire to be teachers.
Relevance: After a semester of depressing news of budget cuts and layoffs, something inspirational.
I love that they call the paper "Wicked Local".
ReplyDeleteBut really, this was a great article, it was like a little bit of "Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul" or something. It really sounds like Mr. DePeter was a wicked great teacher :)
kudos to you Jessica for using 'wicked' in the proper context.
