My best teacher.

I am fortunate to have had many wonderful teachers. One of my best teacher taught social studies. He was also the high school women track coach. It's hard for me to explain why he is so great. It was the presence of his classroom. It was so relaxing, some student did fall asleep on him. I don't think it was because he was boring, but because the student didn't value his/her education. I am from a small town, local actually, and everyone know everyone. This teacher knew his student's siblings. I remember one day he said, " Miss. Thompson I had your sister and she sat on that same row in that same seat." There was a guy in my class last name Thompson and he had a sister that was in my sister class. And then he said, " Mr. Thompson your sister sat in that same seat as you." I guess you can conclude that he had assigned seating. He taught without looking about the book. I can remember him writing on the board and instructing us to turn to a certain page in the book, find a particular chapter, and he would read it word from word as we followed along. The man know his stuff. He also respected students; know how to communicate with students. Best of all, he knew how to motivate students. When I recently graduated I thought of him.
