RE: Memoir Monday #37 My favorite teacher

Thank you so much, Joan! Your Principle sounds like a great man and a great teacher. I'm sure he inspired many students to excel in their academic studies. It seems as though good teachers are a dime a dozen, but great ones come along a little more rarely. I do feel a sadness when I see the numbers each teacher is expected to handle these days. It doesn't seem fair to teachers and students alike.

Present Please sounds like an interesting read and I have found it on Amazon. It would be a good book to add to my library!

Brilliant Principle, we really had such wonderful teachers as well, of late this is sorely lacking.

In our country many good teachers have left, classrooms are filled to capacity, rural schools in such a bad state.

Then we reach the pupils, many simply get one plate of food per day at school, South Africa is really in a bad way after the last 30 years. 😭

That is terribly sad. It's hard to imagine trying to pay attention when the growling of your stomach drowns out all other input. Those children are future leaders and business men and women and we can't even figure out how to feed them properly. It's going on all over the world in one way or another, with the kids getting forgotten while the adults chase power and wealth. It doesn't speak well for humanity.

Our children are our greatest treasure. They are our future. Those who abuse them tear at the fabric of our society and weaken our nation. Nelson Mandela.

Those who treat children in the manner they endure currently can thank the political leaders, false promises, payment in grants not being used in manner it's meant to be.

Last few years have shown how wicked many have become.

Nelson Mandela was a very wise man. It is nearly always the children that suffer and they are the least able to care for/stand up for themselves.
