A Teacher's Prayer...
I want to teach my students more than lessons in a book.
I want to teach them deeper things that people overlook-
The value of a rose in bloom, it's use and beauty, too.
A sense of curiosity to discover what is true;
how to think and how to choose the right above the wrong,
how to live and learn each day; and grow up to be strong.
To teach them always how to gain in wisdom and in grace,
so they will someday make the world a brighter better
place. Lord, let me be a friend and guide to give these
minds a start, upon life's long road,
then I'll have done my part.

Enough with this "BS" nonsense, Gix. I teach students English in Taiwan. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, a new baby in 6 months, and 150 beautiful, talented full of life students... If I respected you, and I thought you were a man of integrity, I would send you some pictures of my family, my schools, students etc... However, Gix, I don't think you are a man of integrity.
