In fact, I have great admiration for teachers, who provide an invaluable service for insultingly low pay. I still remember my favorite teachers, such as motorcycle-riding Chemistry teacher Mr. McLaughlin... who did not wear a jumper. ;)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-7449097842602714322013-10-18T12:41:52.357-06:002013-10-18T12:41:52.357-06:00Thank you!

When I was in school, all the teachers wore jumpers over t-shirts... but of course, that was many years ago. It would be more accurate to say that I suspect I look like a schoolteacher from 1988. :)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-8786600167118006482013-10-18T12:13:03.781-06:002013-10-18T12:13:03.781-06:00Thank you very much!Thank you very much!J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-12852900658187629912013-10-18T12:12:28.027-06:002013-10-18T12:12:28.027-06:00Thank you!
