My parents tried. But the school wouldn’t let me in, because I wasn’t catholic. 🙂

How wonderful that your child was assigned to that great teacher. A heartwarming letter, thank you so much for sharing.

I started kindergarten in 1961 and can still name all my elementary school teachers:

Mrs. Hartzema, Mrs. Bancuk, Mrs. Strum, Mrs. Case, Mrs. Dobyns, Mrs. Taulbee, Mrs. Cook. (K-6 in order). I get a bit fuzzy with the names after that, too many teachers per year to recall.

… Oh my. I wasn’t expecting such a response. Never mind then. I stand corrected.

My parents wanted me to, but I think they changed their mind because of the cost. I found out years later they had applied to send me back to school in India, too. :eek: Now they’re probably wishing they had.  
(And the funny thing is, no way would I have wanted to go back then. But I’d love to spend a year in India now.)
