Cool idea for a thread (and lots of good pictures).

My wife's sister is an elementary teacher who just got the good news that her class size had been reduced to the 20s (had been 30s). Even so it looks like really hard work to me -- dozens of kids in one room but with widely different strengths and troubles; coping with parents who blame teachers for their own kids' behavior; buying supplies out of pocket; never enough teachers and too many high-needs kids -- but she does it enthusiastically and well. Not a climber but an ultramarathon runner, on the side.

Total Perspective shot. I was going to post about how in Wisconsin here teachers are now considered public enemy # 1. Then I see your shot about your student dying. I'm sorry to hear this- it's tough when the little guys leave us too early.
I was at a grad party and I said to my students- well now you're done and off to college, so you can call me Dan- and they said "no You're always going to be Mr. Murphy."

On a different thread on the same topic a few years back I said, "Ex-teacher, ex-climber" I've found out that is not the case and while I don't teach in the public arena anymore I find myself in teacher mode in any number of different jobs and social circumstances. I've also been having (gasp) positive thoughts about climbing again. I just hope my body allows my desires the ability to do it.

I lasted 4 years teaching social sciences at Pasadena High School. It seemed to age me many more years then I taught. cheers to all that can and do

Waiting out Irene here, watching climbing flicks and the weather channel, and what do I see?! I'm in my 7th year, 6 years of science, 2nd year into the math scene. 3rd state. As far as I can tell, we are the last moral and academic role model for most. Many are called, few are dedicated to improve unless there's a monetary incentive. On the flipside, few are as happy with their craft as us! Teaching Climbers Unite!

If you are letting college profs in, add Mark Powell and Chuck Wilts to the list, as well as Chiloe and KLK, who (unlike me apparently) are too modest to apply for membership.

In the Gunks, the list would be extended considerably. From the old days, add John Reppy and Vulgarians Al DeMaria, Claude Suhl, and Steve Larsen for starters.
