“I get letters from classes all the time. Say it's assigned in someone's 8th grade class, and the teacher asks everyone to write a letter to me about their impressions and what they learned. So, it's incredibly gratifying to hear.” WritingAsksClassTeacherLettersImpressionGrades Author:Michael Pollan
“I once had a crush on one of my teachers. I wrote him a love letter and stuck it in a bag in his office. I didn’t write my name on it, but I’m sure he figured out it was me.” WritingNamesTeacherOfficeLettersStuckCrushBagsLove Letter Author:Jennifer Hudson
“I don't think that children, if left to themselves, feel that there is an author behind a book, a somebody who wrote it. Grown-ups have fostered this quotient of identity, particularly teachers. Write a letter to your favorite author and so forth. When I was a child I never realized that there were authors behind books. Books were there as living things, with identities of their own.” IfsThinkingFeelsWritingChildrenBookLeftBehindsTeacherIdentityLettersLiving ThingsYour Favorite Author:P. L. Travers
“I would start by writing to an adult, maybe a high school teacher, or maybe an aunt or uncle, and writing and telling them why you want to go to a particular university. That's probably what you would actually sound like. Then write your letter to the university, and put those 2 versions in front of you, and look at the difference between those 2 things.” WantWritingLooksSchoolSoundDifferencesTeacherFrontsParticularHigh SchoolAdultsLettersUniversityVersionsUnclesAuntSchool TeachersHigh School Teachers Author:David Sedaris
“I came to Paul at quite an early age, having already studied Plato and Aristotle; and I found Paul easily their intellectual equal, though he was handling these amazing questions about God, Jesus, Israel, faith and so on. He continues to be an amazingly stimulating thinker, especially when we try to understand the flow of thought in letter after letter rather than just combing him for a few verses on 'our favourite topics', which, sadly, some Christian teachers do just as some journalists and broadcasters do!” TryingAgeChristianFoundJesusTeacherEqualIntellectualFlowLettersIsraelJournalistThinkerFavouriteVersesTopicsPlatoBroadcastersPlato And AristotleChristian Teachers Author:N.

“Children long to know that they are lovable. And there are ways that technology can help with that. But ultimately it's their relationships with their parents, their grandparents, their peers, and their teachers that help them to know that for sure. A child can learn the word "hug" and the letters h-u-g through a computer, but a computer can never give the child a hug.” KnowsWayGivingChildrenLongHelpingParentTechnologyTeacherComputerLettersHugPeersGrandparentLovable Author:Fred Rogers
“I think there is something about being described and having your abilities described as something definable. I was diagnosed at about six, when a teacher couldn't understand how I could be a bright girl and yet couldn't read yet. I did that whole backwards letters thing. I used to sit in the same place when I did homework because I remembered that B's went towards the window and D's went away from it.” ThinkingWholeUsedGirlAbilityTeacherSixWindowLettersRememberedBackwardsHomework Author:Lucy Corin
