This guy has an impulse to write an email to his 7th grade teacher, but what would he say? Would the teacher even remember him after all those years, considering how many kids he's taught? This video from Cracked contains NSFW language.
The moral of the story is, don't pass up an opportunity to make someone's day. Most teachers put their heart and soul into their profession in order to make a difference in a child's life. How would they ever know if they were successful if you don't tell them? -via Digg
I taught high school biology and health for 32 years, most of it in a small central NY city. I lived there for another 7 years after I retired. I got to see many of my former students and their successes. I even became friends with some of them, easy to do in a small community. I think the student should contact the former teacher if they can. We really appreciate any feed back on our careers.
