Too many teachers are way too focused on THE TEST!!!! and the prep seems to be making things worse. As someone out of my own classroom, I'm glad your dad is building on his passions and with some good solid energy he will find his audience. There's a lot of crossword fans out there, even if I could never be in his club.

What has happened to good, ole fashioned conversation skills??! Phooey on those people. <br /><br />I think it's fascinating what your dad did, for what it's worth!Dana Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074459005471978793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-61536964418073569662015-01-20T08:45:06.432-08:002015-01-20T08:45:06.432-08:00I would hope that teaching our students to listen ...I would hope that teaching our students to listen and be kind will go into adulthood. When I think about my education as a child, I don't remember being taught these things. So I can imagine that even an older generation would be the same way. When I think about all the books we share about this same topic, I don't remember getting that as a child. Hopefully what we are doing will have remain with them. We can only hope! I think it is really cool what your dad has done, but I am a puzzle person! :)Leigh Anne Eckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558611848583070310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-8094271178266087512015-01-20T07:55:37.409-08:002015-01-20T07:55:37.409-08:00Love the connections you made to our teaching live...Love the connections you made to our teaching lives, Michelle. How appallingly rude, however. I like Linda's suggestion - I'm sure your dad will have a much better experience with people who share his interests...and who know not to be rude.

H...I'm so sorry that this happened to your dad. How rude those others were to not even ask questions & celebrate his accomplishment. I found that adults are all different in their ability to respond during my tough time with my husband, Michele. Some disappeared, some never wanted to listen. Tell your dad to look for a puzzle club. They'll be interested! Love this "We're also in the business making sure that our kids have compassion and empathy." So true!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
