Hot For Teacher

When I started blogging about Carolyn last week I meant to keep adding to it since I couldn't think of everything all at once. I was working on "Song that Reminds me of Carolyn" and I realized what it was as I was walking down the hallway of Wellesley High School. The song is
" Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen. The obvious reasons are clear even as she enters her 40th year. beyond the obvious I think everyone is "Hot For Carolyn" in the school environment because her enthusiasm and love of kids makes her a magnet. Students seek her out for advice and teachers work to be as good as her. As a teacher for 9 years now myself I can honestly credit Carolyn for showing me the way in this field. Before my very first day of teaching in NYC I called Carolyn like a week before the 1st day panicking "What do I teach on the actual first day?!!!". Carolyn gave me an easy "break the ice activity" that SAVED me. We also both taught Latin for several years and there were several times I needed to quickly call her to help with a translation or just to figure out how SHE faked it so well!!! Love, Marg
