Noble

Today I had a surprise message appearing in my cellphone. A most noble lady had texted me to say, "I find comfort in the knowledge that friends I care about are well."

It really made my day. I doubt this person will read this blog, but from the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for people like that. This person was always a pleasure to work with; no politics to mess about with, just a good heart for students, a level head, and a desire to get things done right.

A teacher as an environmental unit must be like that. The calling is already tough enough without having to mess around with morons espousing an imaginary blue ocean or blue sky strategy.
