I got chastised and got a bad grade in the first grade (public school) for a picture and coloring the Sun red. It was a sunset. Black teacher said the Sun is always yellow. I was too intimidated to stand up to her. She also scared me because she didn’t shave her legs and wore pantyhose.

As much as they pushed Stop, Drop, and Roll, I figured I was going to spend a large portion of my life on fire.

I had a 6th grade teacher that made us learn the Morse Code. The Cold War was hot. Kennedy was assassinated. Still remember most of it.

Stop, drop & roll. For all the effort they made for us to learn that, I would have thought I would have been on fire by now.

We had a burned kid in our class. Great guy too. So we did stop drop and roll with extra fervor.

In January 2007 I realized that every single teacher who said you won't always have a (calculator, dictionary, or phone) handy was not the futurist they claimed to be, or that Steve Jobs was .
