BY DEFINITION: Something handed down from an ancestor or a predecessor or from the past
How do you want your students to remember you?
If you are walking in a local mall and one of your former students sees you then runs to give you a hug and a thank you, would that make you happy.
If you overheard one of your students saying “she is the best teacher I ever had”, How would that make you feel?
What if they did not remember yo…

I do presentations for students entitled HOW TO LEARN.

anything new.
TO TEACH STUDENTS TO BE LIFELONG LEARNERS SHOULDN'T…

I see the influence of Basketball and Football on young black people.
A former teacher, the seductive power sports has scares me.
I was awaken to this concern with one of the educational networks ran a special on ROME. The evil emperor diverted attention from his atrocities by increasing the games in
the coliseum to 180 days. Even in those days sports lulled the people to sleep.
Back to our young. Dedicated Teachers when trying to get young people to focus on something other than sports are met…

I ask my students this question when I taught at Atlanta are Technical Institute.
The answers I received were $10.00 an hour, $15.00 and hour and $18.00 an hour.

I lived in Birmingham Alabama on a half acre lot blessed huge oak trees that were 40 feet in diameter. They were HUGE! The house was laid out such that every bedroom faced the backyard. Each bedroom had a large picture window. The view was breathtaking. I enjoyed just looking at the trees. In the fall I would identify a particular leaf that was falling and watched it for what seemed liked 5 minutes before it fell to earth.
One day I invited this married couple over to enjoy the view from the bed…

I taught classes at ATT&T
In one of my classes was a distraught 61 year old trainee
He was being forced to retire and confiding in me that it was impossible
for him to focus and learn
I have a belief that my purpose on the planet is to help anyone and everyone
in which I come in contact. In an effort to make an intelligent suggestion I asked
“what makes you happy”? He paused for a few minutes and replied, “I don’t know”
I thought to myself, 61 years old and he doesn’t know what makes him h…
