Great idea, I recently (I'm in college now) went back and thanked several of my elementary school teachers who were really excellent. They don't get nearly enough thanks, but I know for damn sure I wouldn't be where I am today without them.
- heartsteachers 15y agoVery true, the feeling of "they don't get nearly enough thanks" is one of the reasons for the site. although sometimes we don't realize it right away, teachers can really change our lives.
- yummyfajitas 15y agoI know for damn sure I wouldn't be where I am today without them. How do you know this?
- kingkilr 15y agoBecause I see bits of them in myself. An example: my sixth grade teacher math teacher frequently said that good mathematicians were lazy, that the simplest solution to a problem was often best, and that we didn't need to use overly complex techniques to solve problems. That's now at the core of my philosophy as a programmer.
- yummyfajitas 15y agoHow do you know you wouldn't have picked up the same trait from another source? It's not as if that teacher is unique in advocating simplicity.
