“The teacher is crazy; I love that”
My kids are giving me such rich material to write about lately. Today I asked my oldest how he’s progressing on biology. We are trying Thinkwell’s online biology course. My son replied, “Dad, you don’t have to worry about me doing my biology, the teacher is crazy and I love it.” We were in the car and I laughed, turned to look at him with a crooked eyebrow, and before I could ask him to explain, he expanded upon his statement, “he’s really excited and passionate about biology. He gets so excited sometimes he trips over his own words. It gets me excited about it.”
Wow, just wow. I can’t say whether the teacher is faking it or not, I have no idea, but what I will say is what a testament that my son basically said ‘I got this course taken care of dad’ because he enjoys it, in no small part because the teacher is having a good time teaching the material.
Hats off to Thinkwell and to the biology teacher George Wolfe, you have new fans, my son and me!
