Even now, as he turns 19 and graduates...were thinking of our Mrs. C.
Patient and kind, smart and funny! And what my son needed his first year of big kid school!
m.
Mrs. C....you ROCK!
I don't know if she tought me anything but man did I have a crush on her.
Always made sure my locker and desk were cleaned, any and all home work was done.
I would raise my hand even if I didn't have a clue what the answer was...
I just wanted her to say my name.......
That lasted until winter break, she came back married....
good night misty, bus still has his morning route todo.
You reminded me of a story my fiance told me of this fourth grade teacher of his (what is it about 4th grade teachers for little boys?!) He said she looked like Karen Valentine from Room 222 (you remember, come on!)....he said he swears he had his first mm-mm in her class. She asked him to go up to the board and he said he couldn't "My stomach hurts" but it wasn't his stomach!! LOLOLOL
Is 9 a bit young to get a ....mm-mmm?! Well I guess it depends on the boy and the teacher and her hot quotient!?!

One day, I got let out of my class early and went to the bus and got on. She followed and looked in the rear view mirror and saw me. She asked tersely..."what are you doin' on MAH bus already?"
I told her.
She said,...'you take dance or somethin'?"
"Yes" I replied meekly.
"Ah could tell, you are the only one on this whole bus that has good posture. How long ya' been taken that balleriner stuff."
"Since I was eight."
"You any good."
"I'm o.k."
"I wanted to be a balleriner when I was little."
"oh?"
"Yeh, but mah parents didn't have that kinda' money. You keep dancin' as long as you can, hear me?"
"Yes ma'm"
After that, we never talked again but she was always a lot nicer to me. At the end of the school year I gave her a card and thanked her for driving all of us little heathens to school each day, getting us there safely despite all the headaches the kids gave her AND THEY DID, TRUST ME!
When I handed her the card, I swear, she had a tear in her eye. She mumbled something. Not sure what. Never saw her again.
Mrs. Wakelam...wherever you are....thank you.

Here's my other bus driver story
I'm ashamed of myself, I'm usually good at things like this but...
When my son was younger, he went to school yes, on the short bus (I hate jokes about that. He was only 4-5 and had mental challenges.) Anyway, he had the nicest bus driver. It didn't matter how late I was getting to the front of my house (where he got picked up)...I mean I wasn't like 10 mins late but sometimes my son would be sooo hard to get up and get dressed and fed that it was an ordeal to get him out there exactly at 8:47am! So the bus driver knew this and gave me 5 extra minutes MANY mornings and he'd greet my son with a good morning and how ya' doin' buddy and son, who couldn't speak in sentences, responded with a smile and a hug. I can't even remember his name but wherever he is, waves of love and thank you for your kindness and PATIENCE!
