Both Sides of the Desk

Join us in a nostalgic journey back in time (1966-1985) when parents sent children to school and relaxed knowing they were safe. It's an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what we were, in hopes that we can regain some of the simplicity and integrity of the past. It is filled with anecdotes that are funny, tragic, and heart-warming. Funny stories, like how the principal's son refused to get on the school bus the first day of kindergarten and escaped up a tree; Jimmy, a boy with cystic fibrosis, reveals why it is so important that children with special needs attend the public school; Reveals the love children have for their teachers. A gray-haired kindergarten teacher asked a boy what he wanted to be when he grew up, "A kindergarten teacher just like you," the boy said. The teacher laughed: "Can I visit you when you are teaching?" He looked at her lovingly, "Mrs. Ford, you?ll be in heaven by then."
