Hi. I teach 8th grade math in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US. I am in the process of applying to open a teacher-run secondary (grades 6-12) school within Minneapolis Public Schools. Your post sounds to me like what I am trying to create in a new…

Hello Tyler. I apologize for not writing back sooner. If I don't respond to an email right away, it gets buried and waits until the next time I clean out my inbox. Well - that's what I'm doing today so I came across your…

Hello Tyler. Thanks for writing and saying hello. I was your teacher 20 or so years ago, when you were in 3rd grade. I looked at your photo and really couldn't picture you as a third grader. I'll look through old yearbooks when I get a…

Hi Mr. Leavitt I was going to call you Seth, but that felt weird. I was a student of yours back in Morris Park a while back, and something made me wonder how you were doing (as with all my teachers) happened to see this page, and felt compelled to…

I am not in education, however, who knows where this life will lead right? I actually work as a contractor on the 3M campus as a PC Technician. You would probably remember me best as the kid who was always drawing pictures of airplanes. It may have been 93' as well now that I look at my original message to you. I believe it was the year of the snow storm, or the year after. (I was only at Morris Park for half of 2nd grade and 3rd grade).

I wound up at Washburn Sr. High, where I did graduate in 2001. I could never say that the Minneapolis Public School system hindered my education, only that I did with my own lack of diligence. I could have done far better then I did, but I didn't apply myself the way I needed to.

Anyway, I enjoy talking with teachers that I've had over the years. I do occasionally chat with my 1st grade teacher Laurie Hanzal (which reminds me that I will send her an email today too).. If you don't mind I'd like to stay in touch. I think these relationships can be invaluable and always a pleasant opportunity to bring back fond memories.

Again, hope you don't mind if I keep in touch. Ill send you a private message with my real email address.

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
