Teaching

Teaching should be
Engaging and Reaching 
Minds and Hearts
    Not Preaching or Beseeching
    and of course not Screeching
          or Bleaching
          the color out of the Truth
~ For Teaching should be all about 
     helping others seek Truth with their Reaching!

Daniel Turner Date: 5/10/2018 9:39:00 AM Gershon, long ago when I was in school, there were only a couple of teachers that actually taught me anything. I think teaching is a gift, much like poetry writing. Some are born with it, others not so much. You seem to have been doubly blessed.

Thank you for your visit and your praise. Blessings, gw

Tom Cunningham Date: 5/10/2018 5:22:00 AM Couldn't agree more, glad times have changed, often seen bully teachers ridicule pupils because they didn't know an answer. Tom. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 5/11/2018 2:15:00 AM Me too, Tom...by and large those bully teachers are a thing of the past---although I've encountered a few such colleagues in the past decade. They're dinosaurs though, by and large. :) gw
