Comments on: Watching an Amputation! http://www.gladlywoulditeach.com/2010/03/02/watching-an-amputation/ I learned how to become a better teacher by watching, listening, and questioning other teachers for over thirty years. Now that I am retired, it's my turn to pass on my strategies, philosophies, successes, and failures to others who may learn from my experiences.

I started to mention Dr. Hafner and the doctors in his practice, but I'm sure he doesn't want people contacting him to ask about the program. I really like the idea about the local news. I think I'm going to pursue that. As far as their reward is concerned, I suspect they feel that reward just about every day when they work with such motivated kids who are so interested in what the doctors are doing. They have to be kind souls in the first place to volunteer to work with our students. You’re right, Margaret.

What a difference such programs make in the lives of so many students. How true, Theresa! What a difference such programs make in the lives of so many students.

I wish I had you back this semester! You will make a wonderful teacher, and I can't wait until you have your own classroom and invite me to visit! I'll come help you pass out papers. Thanks, Cortney!

I read your blog religiously, I hope that doesn't seem weird.Well, I just wanted to let you know that you were that energetic and compassionate professional who allowed me to shadow you in the classroom- a place that I so look forward to spending the next best years of my life. And though it may not to the normal person seem as exciting as watching an amputation- letting me help with your teacher duties last semester really meant alot to me!

What an awesome program. Think of how many students begin to take classes in college without the foggiest idea of what they want to do or thinking they want to do something they've never witnessed. This could save years of going in the wrong direction. Hearing about adults taking the time to expose a child to a career is heartwarming. I couldn’t even dissect the pig.

It would be great if they could be highlighted on local news or something. They are performing a super survice! I wonder how one would go about doing this - maybe Dr. Dyer should add it to her list!
