A reply to Ms Saas’s journal She Probably Will
A few weeks ago, my teacher Ms Gusa told me that Saas was leaving.
I think I had a panic attack in my mind. I guess. I only have two more months with her.. I envy the highschool people who’ve had 3 years with her.
But I’m glad she’ll be able to teach other kids. Because EVERYONE deserves to be taught by Cori Saas. She is truly the best teacher ever.
Sydney is right, she will be crying. But so will I and many people, we all will be crying along with her.

Goodbyes are forever, and this is not goodbye. Only another chapter opening up in your story.

“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

I am crying, not tears of sadness, but of joy because I know you’ll suck the marrow out of every last bit of this journey.

Cori/Greg
Tried to copy and paste your line about “not a teacher librarian”. Makes my heart hurt. I loved to work with folks who felt as you feel.

Comment on Listening with Story by Al Smith

Beautiful post. Not only is your point poignant and transferable for me but it reads poetic. It’s a story by a storyteller but I can can you’ve listened. Your insights from both father and daughter indicative a wisdom- a gift. Your students are the lucky ones.
Great stories stand alone but the great storytellers have a magic too. Like Lincoln, Joseph Campbell or Margaret Atwood. Even these talents are listeners too. They listen to the world around them every moment. I think some of the master teachers I’ve met were great storytellers and listeners each with a unique style.

I like stories. And I can say the same about you, Grant. I was writing tonight, wondering about story-spaces; I was thinking about your attending classroom-story place. You like stories, too. Thank you for listening, for sharing, for understanding.
