Ideal instructor, shows integrity, impact in instruction. 5/2/2022 * Deuteronomy 32:2 May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb. Work Perspective Monoku Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Beata Agustin National Teacher Day is observed on the first Tuesday of the first full week of May (May 3) and we’re more than ready to show our appreciation to those who have taught us. Everyone has had that favorite teacher that has helped inspire them. This day meant to honor them was actually made by a teacher. None other than First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt herself. Eleanor Roosevelt was more than Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wife, she has a history of civic duty and was an advocate for fellow teachers. Her love for education began at a young age when she was privately tutored and encouraged by her aunt Anna “Barnie” Roosevelt. No matter how high she rose on the social ladder, she never forgot where she came from.

I agree with your one liner. Children need so much more than they are getting in the school today. The home and school is where morals, values, and self-discipline is taught and learned. Good luck in the contest. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Gosh. Deuteronomy 32:2 is one of my favorite Biblical verses. So tender, yet mighty at the same time... God being the greatest instructor, of course. Here's to teachers! :) gw

My grandmother taught grades 1-12 in a one-room schoolhouse when children attended school only when they were not needed for chores at home. Members of Congress still believe education is not that important! Aloha!
