I love a teachable moment; I count on them always, and feel badly when I realize I have missed one. Great carpe diem!

taught math, and know how it is finding that teachable moment that rings the brains bells

Right! When those moments come along, one has to grab them and run with them for all they're worth. :) gw

Being I drive a school bus there are many children I could see doing this! I enjoyed this poem :) hugs

I'll bet you see a lot of eye-opening behavior on that bus route, Sandra... Thank you so much for your positive comment on this little effort. Appreciated! Best wishes, Gershon

Based on a true story, too. It was many years ago. I was the teacher. I seized the moment, and that student went from troublemaker to star almost overnight. It pays to seize the moment! :) gw
