Since it's been a while since I've "feasted", I thought I'd try and get back in the swing of things!! Appetizer: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how polite are you?
I think I am pretty polite, most of the time. So I'd have to say an 8. There ARE those moments when I get in a snit over something and then, all politeness goes right out the window. I'm not too proud of those moments, but they DO happen to me.
Soup: What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?
When I was at work yesterday, the air was broken. I worked for about 2 hours in my office; I called it "my hot box". When I came out, I must have looked awful because the secretary looked at me and said, "Now that'll convince you that you don't want to go to hell, right??" {As if I needed any convincing.}
Salad: Who is your favorite cartoon character?
By far it has to be The Cat in the Hat because for me, he represents all that is "right" in the area of education and learning and children's literature. And Dr. Seuss is an author that appeals to children all over (and grown-ups, too).Main Course: Tell about the funniest teacher you ever had.
I loved my first College Education Professor, Dr. Little. She absolutely used to get into stitches in our class. She loved learning and she loved laughing. She was passionate about education and shared it with everyone. My favorite day was when we set a cassette tape (yes, it was a while ago) with a birthday song for my friend, Beth behind a partial wall in her classroom. About 45 minutes into the class, the song "went off" and shocked us all. She laughed until there were tears coming down her cheeks.
Dessert: Complete this sentence:
I strongly believe that ALL children can learn and have the right to be taught by caring compassionate individuals.

Great feast! Hope you cooled off, LOL!
I enjoyed this one so much that I had to come out of 'break status' to comment! I'm glad I checked here today! I LOVE your answer for dessert!
Your reads are always good.

Great feast! I hope the air is fixed soon. I am sure that was miserable. Loved your dessert!
Great Feast Susan, I never had a funny teacher. I am so happy that you did...it makes learning just that much more (bad English) FUN!!! Our group is getting bigger and bigger for October. Sandy
Interesting questions and some great answers. I had to laugh about your air conditioning.
Oh wow! My hubby has been without air in HIS office for the past week -- and Maryland is nowhere NEAR as hot as Florida right now! YOW! I am feeling for ya!
I love your dessert! I do believe that too... I wish the government could (or would) afford to give all the kids who NEED it one on one private tutoring! Or ... really I just wish there were more "little schools" ... with very small class sizes - for the ones who just can NOT focus in a large group! It is SO frustrating to see these High School kids who have been tossed and tumbled through the system all the way up the line until they are ready to graduate and they still don't know basic math or language arts! And at that point they are sO frustrated that they just DON'T CARE anymore! They come to class because they have to, and then they are disruptive because they're bored... and they "don't GET it" no matter how hard the teacher tries... they just can't learn in that atmosphere! My niece and nephew both had problems in school and SOMEhow my sister finagled them scholarships into a little school - and they both THRIVED! It was so rewarding to see that! I wish that was available for ALL kids who need it!
