One of Those Teachers
Daphne Kalmar was a school teacher for over twenty years. She taught in California, Massachusetts and then in a small school in Vermont. She was one of those teachers. One of the exciting and inspiring ones you never forget...one of the teachers who sees every kid.
Daphne is now a children's book author (links to her work below). We sat in her kitchen by an open window. It had that late summer sound to it, the sound I associate with the beginning of school in Vermont. We talked about her book, A Stitch in Time, but mostly we talked about what it’s like to fall in love with a new batch of kids every September, and then let them go.
