Ode to Miss Foley
Posted by tekkieteacher on 15th November 2007
Here is a wonderful song from educator Barry Lane honoring his favorite teacher, Miss Foley. Like Taylor Mali’s video, Lane emphasizes just how big a difference teachers really do make.
I know who my “Miss Foley” was. It was Mr. Dineen, my 9th grade World History teacher. For those of you who’ve been around a while, you know I started out my career in education as a History teacher. That’s because Mr. Dineen taught me that the study of History was not just worksheets and textbooks, but adventure-filled stories–the types of stories that fascinated the mind of a goofy little freshman like the one I was. I’ve been a History-geek ever since.
I know who my “Miss Foley” was. Who was yours?
