Strict, Cool, Money and....

Last day of school is tomorrow. Tis the season of thank yous and notes from students. This morning I received this handwritten message inside a card:

Dearest Mr. Wymer,

1,000 thank yous for an excellent year! I am so privileged to have such an amazing teacher. You are like a father to me. Whether it's letting me watch cool movies (Clash of the Titans) or saying slang my dad would say, you are rockin'. Kids will always say, "Oh, remember Mr. Wymer? Remember how money he was?" I will never forget you, teach future students as you taught me, strict, cool, money, and pimp. 

Sincerely yours,

Take that, you anesthesiologists, actuaries, and sales directors! Bet you've never been called strict, cool, money, and pimp.

pimp



Someone or something with especially flamboyant style.
Those sneakers are pimp. Michael Jordan is pimp on the court.

  1. That's great! Shows you are a great teacher! It's one of the things I live for each year... makes it all worth while! My husband had some of my former students last year. I loved hearing the stories after they figured out that we were married. You never know what a difference you really make. It is a humbling experience when he shares their stories with me of how I changed school for them. Keep it up!
