Hi Fran,

I don't know what happens to some Teachers Fran. I can tell you
that I recall very few of my childhood Teachers who actually
exhibited any real personal concern for their students and the
moreso for their troubled ones, of which group I belonged all my
childhood years in school.

As an adult looking back, I see the "good Teachers" as they shine
line beacons in my heart and memory while the "others" are simply
numbers I would rather forget, but some hurt me so badly, I cannot
really completely forget.

It bothered me greatly, to find so many ASL instructors /
interpreter level tutors who are too greatly impressed with their
own abilities and accomplishments to work as very effective
teachers. Like those from my past, the good ASL instructors I have
worked with, also shine, but the majority I have had, leave me with
nothing. (I mean imagine, that ASL instructor that was angered by
my hearing problems! Lord, how would he ever work with me now!)

So, I still continue to say that really good teachers are like rare
gems and they should be treasured by all.

Keepin' the faith!
