No time like the present to praise a good teacher

This article caught my eye. We have had so many sad things in the news lately that this article was refreshing to read. Plus, it would be great to have lots of good minds focusing on the traits of a good teacher.

No time like the present to praise a teacher is the title of the article. That's exactly what we will do. Think about a teacher who has really made a difference in your life. Then ponder what it was that made that particular teacher a significant one for you.

The article asks the question: What makea a memorable teacher? Knowledge of the subject ranks high, of course. But enthusiasm, patience, kindness, encouragement, and good discipline also exert powerful influences.

So what do you think?  Your opinions count and as the article states there is........

No time like the present to praise a teacher!!!
