A Man for Some Seasons

[stoutfellow]

While searching for something else, I ran across this bit, from A Man for All Seasons.

Sir Thomas More: Why not be a teacher? You'd be a fine teacher; perhaps a great one.
Richard Rich: If I was, who would know it?
Sir Thomas More: You; your pupils; your friends; God. Not a bad public, that.

Words to live by, for those of us in the profession.

And some of us former pupils have long memories. I still remember my third great(er, grade, but leaving the oh, so appropriate typo in) teacher, Mrs. Hearne, with great affection and respect.
