Highlights from the final...

Good evening,

  I've been reading your final essays all weekend. I'm so impressed. Either you have all really mastered the art of sucking up (and I should be taking lessons from you) or you learned a tremendous amount this year, much more than I even realized I was teaching you. You reminded me that the things I teach implicitly are often much more important than what I teach you explicitly. That means that what I teach you about yourselves and about life matters more than what I teach you about books.

I promised you I would put my favorite quotes on the blog, but when I typed them up it came to five pages so I'm giving it to you as a link. You said amazing things. Read through this list and be proud of yourselves yet again. Highlights from Period 3 Finals

I really enjoyed perusing this site--I taught at PLHS this year, taking over for a Spanish teacher out on maternity leave. I LOVE PLHS!! Hopefully I will be back in the fall--and then I can create a blog similar to this one...
