I had a similar incident happen with my son. He graduated from the same high school I did. His principal was my math teacher. As my son wanted to take chemistry as a sophomore and had to present grades to the chemistry teacher. As we are passing near the office the principal recognized me and asked me while we were at school. ( this was early summer right after school was out) I explained to him what was going on and he asked to see my sons grades. Principal is looking at them, rubbing his chin and says, "Hummm, I see you get much better grades than your mother did. I thought my son was going to collapse laughing. I really wanted to hurt the man. LOL

I knew it was time to "turn in my chalk" when one of my students told me that I had taught her grandfather. I guess "turning in my chalk" dates me enough anyway!! Ha! Ha! I don't even think kids know about chalk these days, do they?

LOL Daco. Same here. My son's elementary school principal was my middle school gym teacher, and my chemistry teacher in high school also taught my son. When I went for parent teacher's conferences Mr. Wray recognized me right away and said....well kid....now I know where your sass comes from! At least he smiled when he said it....but my son has Never let me forget that, either! LOL good stuff.

I was blessed to teach in the same neighborhood for over 30 years. The last year I taught I had the third generation from a family in the community. I decided to retire before I met the fourth!

My high school English teacher had been my Dad's English teacher 30 years before. He told me I'd love being in her class and he was right.

He obviously made a difference enough to be remembered by most.....................a huge compliment!

good story!

Tell Kevin that age is only a number. If he's been driving a bus for 30 years then he has the patience of a saint...plus he's had job security for 30 years.
