Whelp, the day has officially come. Linda P. Warren is a retired 3rd grade teacher.
That's right. My precious/crazy/loud/prude/not-so-prude/Scotch-swilling(that's right, Mama ... I wrote that, as you can't get fired now)/Lady GaGa lovin'/whistling/silly Mama is now retired after many years of phenomenal service with 3rd graders in the better half of the lower South Eastern states.
As I've mentioned before, simply volunteering in Silas' class is an eye opener. I do it for sport, as I can laugh and LEAVE in a few hours.
However, CRAZY people ... i.e. Mama ... find their life's calling in doing such a job.
I think these people are born with it. They cannot help it. It's like the sexy Sirens calling wayward seamen into the rocks. Is it a blessing or a curse?
All I DO know is that it has been a tremendous blessing for all of the children that were lucky enough to end up in her care and tutelage. Never a better educator has existed, in my mind.
So, CHEERS to you Mama. I am so very proud of you.
A quote that sums it up:
“Teaching is a calling too. And I've always thought that teachers in their way are holy - angels leading their flocks out of the darkness.”
