my education and the two that taught me.

It all started one bitterly cold morning. As always had my brain in the throws of matrimony of one little blonde that had no intention of ever relinquishing.  
So carrying all of my school stuff walked up the stairs to Mrs. STURGION'S  classroom and embarrassment. But as mighty as I was , there was one subject I flat couldn't grip ahold of. MATH. Didn't matter the part of the subject, I just couldn't. Call it a mind block. 
So for once I decided to let my pride on the floor and tell the truth. So there with everybody in that classroom watching me, I looked up at Mrs Cleo Sturgeon and said to her flatly outright. I CAN'T DO MATH. don't know why or how, but the oger everyone said she was not what I found. I guess I touched her heart ❤️  somehow and, everyday after school my butt was in her classroom getting extra tutoring. She let me construct a grid of multiplication tables on my desk, call it a manually operated calculator. That ain' the whole of it. Back then anything and everything Star Trek was where my mind was. So what did Mrs. STURGEON DO? SHE ASSEMBLED THE ENTIRE CLASSROOM to look like the bridge of Ncc 1701 no A b c or d. The constitution class Enterprise. The visual and all made it where I wanted to go to school. Heck that was where I discovered that a woman's legs wrapped in pantyhose was a thing to be admired. Even played with our garage band, at a thing she set up for another student. Her name was Miss Jensen. Any mile that was my sith grade at Crestview Elementary School Layton Utah.[ more on the little blonde on my podcast.] . Now then:. We moved to Hagerman Idaho in the summer of 1971. Against My wishes. I was so against that , that I hid and wouldn't come out of hiding. But mom knew how to sweeten the sitch so we moved from anything and everything Layton Utah  to dullsville Idaho. At the crest of 1973 into 1974, it was two more teachers that brought me around.  Miss Hobson media science teacher yup HazzRd High had one. And Mr. Lindsey advanced math teacher. Both found that I did better at a givin subject if they'd set it up to some real world touch and feel. Oh yes one other Mrs. Brailsford. Best gall dern legs at Hazzard High, next to Miss Veran's. Yup once again pantyhose greeted me with a hello. Mrs Brailsford would arch her hind end and give me a taste if I did good in advanced English and Grammer class. [ yea I know give the money back. ] any mile, these teachers added wuth my own mom's own teaching is why my minds sharpness is as good as it is. 👍  The thing is I have been reading all kinds of junk on LinkedIn about teachers and all. Just like parenting. Anyone can get a educational degree, but it takes a very special person to be a teacher. As far as parenting same idea, anyone can create an embreo but it takes a very special couple to be a mom or dad. I'm dern blessed 🙌 😇  I had the best of both. 
Now back to the WolfPack Shoew.
