A huge number of teachers are retiring today. I've said goodbye to them all in various ways.
One particular goodbye was a bit poignant—her and I didn't always see eye-to-eye, but I'm willing to forgive everything if you are a great teacher. And she was [and I'm an excellent judge]. So I gave her a bear-hug.
I hope I made her cry, I had to get out sharpish before I myself was unmanned by a shameful display of emotion.
