Seventh Grade teacher
This was another middle school teacher i will never forget. He taught reading. He never gave out A's and B's were like beholding a unicorn in your hands. His name was Mr. West. I don't remember what I read, but I remember the shocked look on his face that he was actually giving out a B. So, I must've did all the reading, and writing he required of me. -
Challenging Teacher
For you to receive an A in this teachers class, it was pretty much a miracle, Even B's were a rare occurrence. I received an A on one paper. It was about a Greek Demigod.I do not remember which one, but I will never forget that I received an A , and I will never forget her. -
Dean Koontz

My son the accelerated reader
My son came home in 5th grade and had got 100 percent on the accelerated reader test for the fifth Harry Potter book. I could not have been more proud of him. He was a good reader too. -
Get The Gimmies
My daughter was an early reader too. I don't think I had to teach her how to read. One day she was reading. She reads all the time. She even gets in trouble for reading in school too much. There's one story we talk about all the time because she has a bad habit of asking for things everywhere we go." Berenstain Bears: Get the Gimmies". In this story the kids learn to not ask for so many things.
