One of my top two teachers approached education similarly much to my benefit. In the process, he really taught me the value of work ethic, but also a love of learning for learning's sake. He took me past the rote compliance mode and got me excited about thinking. I am so hoping Dancergirl will have one of those teachers in school. She's got them in her outside life, but when it comes to school, things are really dull for her, despite being in the gifted programs. SIGH. Great story, finnigh!

My best teacher was a guy named John Ward. I was a bright young smartass who slacked my way through school, only finishing enough of my assignments to get a pass. Sure, what little I did was usually pretty good, but he saw right away what my M.O. was. For a solid year he kept me after school, day after day untill I had finished my assignments. Under his guidance, I learned what it means to give a project 100%. I've carried the work ethic he taught me into many fields and it has never let me down. I hated his guts at the time, but now I wish he was still around so I could shake his hand and thank him for making such a profound influence in my life.
