World Teachers Day

It is, according to the school newsletter and the internet when I did a search,  World Teachers Day today so James decided to take his teacher Miss O’D. some flowers.

Nothing less than a bunch of Red Roses – the highly perfumed kind – would do.  I think he’s a closest romantic….vbg.

I’m sure Miss O’D will enjoy them – I just hope she survives all the thorns that they come with……ouch.

 “The mediocre teacher tells.

The good teacher explains.

 The superior teacher demonstrates.

The great teacher inspires.”

William Arthur Ward 

 

What a pity it isn’t “Wives who help their Husbands Day”.  I am off to Woorinen (about 15 mins from home) to help Ashley lay wires for a new house in a trench and do all the associated bits that go with it.  Luckily there is a cool breeze blowing and plenty of shady trees as the sun has a real sting to it and as for the flies…….ohhhhhhhh!!

  1. Hi there,
    I am doing some work on World Teachers’ Day for the Victorian Institute of Teaching and your blog page came up in my Google Alerts. What a great photo! We are gathering pics for the Institute website to show how the day was celebrated. If you’re in Victoria we’d love to include a pic of your son’s lovely gesture. You can reach me at m.edmunds@cprcomm.com.au if you’d like to be part of it,
    Michelle
