MyLotter Heather (@GardenGerty) wrote about a ‘Glow Day’ that the teachers organised for classes at her school. I don’t remember any glow days but I do remember one teacher who would cover one of her blackboards with the most beautiful drawings, usually a fairy-tale or nursery rhyme.
In her hands, the coloured chalks created marvellous scenes and we’d peer in the windows watching her work. I was lucky to have pleasant teachers all through my schooling. Maybe some of it was to do with the fact that I never rocked the boat or misbehaved, apart from reading under the desk occasionally.
The photo is mine of a school room in Nepal.

@JudyEv - When we are very young, often we cannot understand that not everything that sounds boring it is. I hated Latin lessons, only later I understood how useful Latin is to understand many words from different languages. So many English words come from Latin.

You were fortunate enough to have such an artistic teacher ! She sowed the seeds of virtue in you all.

It must have been a pleasure to be in her classroom. I admire those with artistic talent.

I had some really fun teachers too. But none that were artistic like that
