My plan was to give a teacher a few hours a week, but after I made my promise, I began taking classes myself. And I feel very guilty. I hope by publicly thanking teachers and making my suggestion this will somewhat make up for my not being there as I should. Many people need something to do during the day. There are older people who are lonely and live within walking distance of a neighborhood school.
Nothing can compare to being loved and needed by a child.
I have spent time in classrooms as a volunteer parent and it is an eye opener, but I really enjoyed the time I spent helping out. I'm certain you will also be loved by a very grateful teacher. By the way, those field trips are a lot of fun and this is the time of year there are frequent outings. Two of my children are going on individual trips to Atlanta and I, for one, am envious.
