Sister Ernest, OSF. 1st and 3rd. I thought of her so often during my own 36 year teaching career, and think she would have approved.
American Education Week has me thinking about my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Wilson. She sparked my love for learning and was there the day I got my law degree. There are Mrs. Wilson’s all across our nation who are making a difference in children’s lives—and they deserve a raise.

My tenth grade English teacher kept me after class one day and told me to write. He took a stack of essays we had written in class the week before and showed them to me. He showed me one page essays, two page essays. He pulled mine from the stack - it was four and a half pages 1/

He looked at me & told me again, "you need to write." He encouraged me to go to college for it, even when my own family told me I couldn't make a dime in doing it. Now, I am a published author. I write novels & scripts. I make money doing what I love, what I was born to do 2/2

Mrs. Brewer was my third grade teacher. She was incredibly patient with a kid who had terrible trouble learning to read, and gave me her sweater when the power would go out when I had no coat. Her legacy is someone who loves to read, and tries to remember to be kind.

My teachers in 4th and 5th grade were the best: Mrs Felope was Black and Mrs Stalman was White. I adored both and learned so much from each of them.

You’re lucky. My (NJ) 1st grade teacher was verbally and physically abusive. I never told my parents until I was 15.

I had the greatest teachers from first grade to sixth grade. Incredible Black women. I loved each of them dearly.
