1964, Taught 4th grade, Algonac Public Schools

 


$5,000.00.  Close to 40 -9 and 10 year olds.

    Some of the kids didn't know the alphabet.

Some of the kids read the 4th grade  Reader the first day of class.

I couldn't sleep.  I was worried about how  I could teach that many

kids at so many levels.

My Finnish Husband said, "They gave you an impossible job,

Just do the best you can."

     We started each day singing, "She's a grand old flag, a high flying flag,

and ever in peace may she wave, She's the emblem of the Land I love,

The home of the Free and the Brave."  etc,

Pres. Joe Biden and V.P. K. Harris:  "Just do the best you can."

Thank you for your good and brave Leadership.  

     "Damn the torpedo!  Full steam ahead!
