Congratulations!
Having a 1st grader and a 2nd grader, both have been very fortunate to have great pre-school and elementary school teachers, my respect for teachers and what they do has grown a lot. My kids love school and love to learn, and I give the credit to the teachers and the foundations they helped us form.
An outstanding achievement for your wife!

congrats to your wife Randy! I think i speak for everyone here (and most already have spoken) when i say thank you to your wife and the other hard-working teachers out there. I can fully appreciate the effort & sacrifice that goes into that job on a daily basis - i come from a family with a number of teachers including my sister who taught EASL in Taiwan for 6 years. Good luck!

Thanks Amie! I hope I didn't come off as trying to steal Karen's thunder. I just wanted to let Randy know we had yet another thing in common and that I completely understood how proud he is. Judging from Randy's response it sounds like his wife may be Reading Recovery as well. How weird would that be?

My wife taught using the Reading Recovery program for four years. She now stays home to raise my two daughters. Reading Recovery is an awesome program.

It really is a great method of teaching. It is so different from the way the nuns taught me (ruler on the back of my knuckles) back in my day. Unfortunately it tends to get a lot criticism from the teachers and parents who don't want to accept that phonics is only one tool, not the only tool. Did your wife teach it in Texas?

Me again Well my wife is preparing for the big interview tomorrow. She had a meeting yesterday with a teacher that made the top 5 a few years back, and received some great advice on what types of questions to expect. After the interview we are going out to lunch. I took tomorrow off work to accompany her to the interview. Tomorrow night we are dropping the kids of at my folks place and going out to dinner and have a few drinks to celebrate. It has been a long time since just us two went out on the town, I think we are going to start doing more of that on Friday nights. In life you get so wrapped up in work and other activities, you sometimes forget what got you to this point.
Funny how fast time goes by once you get married and hit the job market and start a family. I just had my 20th High School reunion, I can't believe it, seems like yesterday.
Anyway, thanks so much for all of your wonderful comments. My wife was amazed on how much Oz new about his wifes job. She told me she was going to sit me down some day and let me have the whole scoop as well, then I can right a nice article similar to Oz's post above.
ps: I'll let you all know how the interview went soon...
