the teacher who cared

In 6th grade i didn't get great grades. The teacher I had nticed ny problem after 5 tests . He cared about me getting good grades because he new my potential was great. He said I have to work hard. At first I didn't really care about my grades but then my mom got right on top of it and then I started really caring about my grades because somewhere in my heart i realized if I wanted to get a good job i had to get really good grades. I started writing index cards ever night which helped a lot instead of 50 60 and 70 I was scoring in the 90's all most on every time. It was only in English language Arts that I really didn't get good grades in. Only on spelling test I got either a 100 or a 95 but pronouns and verbs and nouns weren't my strong points at all. I still kept scoring in the 50's and 60's which wasn't good so. I started ever night writing sentences out of a pamphlet my teacher gave to study I started getting 80's and 90's and that just proves that my teacher really cared about me.

Darlene, I went through much the same experience, but earlier. I learned to despise my SECOND GRADE teacher because she did not care for my scrawling penmenship. Give me a break! I was 6 years old, then. She had me staying after school every night to copy words from whatever book we were reading in the 'reading circle'. I had to copy two or three pages and get her approval before I could go home. My Mom wasn't happy because I would be walking alone instead of with a group or assigned companion. The whole experience was painful.

Skip ahead to the current time. My scrawling hasn't improved all that much. But now, my saving grace is the computer. I kin ryt dum ef eye want, or quite well. So there!
