Teaching Forever

Jim was one of the few teachers in the district to successfully teach pantomime. His students frequently cleaned up in district competition in this event; so much so that other teachers tried to get it dropped from competition.

A couple of years ago, Kris Baker, teaching at Cedar Valley Middle School alongside Jim, filmed him teaching pantomime. I may have known about that, but had forgotten.

Lynn's daughter, Tara, is teaching theater at CD Fulkes Middle School. Kris gave her a DVD of Jim's pantomime session.

Tara says it takes a hell of a teacher to be able to teach from beyond the grave.

Lynn is going to get me a copy of the DVD.
