Hello Storm 2k'ers.. Sad news to report from my old middle school tonight:

McCARTY HAS DIED: Parkway Middle School Algebra teacher Mrs. McCarty died on Sunday. According to reports, she was killed by cancer. McCarty has been a math teacher at PMS for several years and was well liked by the students.

Even though I never had Mrs. McCarty for a math teacher, I feel kinda sad. I always heard good things about her and plus everyone told me I would have enjoyed her class.

Just 1 of 2 sad stories I have heard tonight but this is the sadder of the 2 See the "even more sad news" thread for the other 1..

Sorry to hear about these sad stories, John.

It probably would of made more sense if you put them in one thread.

True tom.. you're right.. sorry about that lol

Losing a good teacher is like losing a friend. I recently learned that my algebra teacher from HS JUST passed away. She was in her 90's!

As a former teacher myself, I stay in touch with a handful of students living around the country. I have genuinely kept track of their lives (and contributions to other's lives) and they have done so with me as well.

Teaching is a noble profession, and although it often gets little respect, teachers can and do have much impact on the lives of many people.

Sorry to hear about this loss.

Not promoting my website.. but I actually wrote an editorial on my site about teachers.. if anyone cares to see it

I've heard sadder stories, sorry to hear about that.
