Each week the Rome News Tribune publishes a section called Young Romans. This features art work, activities and writings from various schools from the area. Rome Middle School was the insert this week, so I was reading it closely since that is where Randy teaches.
This is his 31st year of teaching middle schoolers. He is ready for retirement, but still enjoys the interaction with students...it's the administration and all the hoops that are TIRING! I have always been proud of what he does as a teacher & coach, but this little narrative by one of his students solidifies what I know.
A Noteworthy Role Model (written by an 8th grader names Michelle)
One word describes the one and only Mr. Nobles: character. he is THE best teacher I have had in a very long time. The captain of Stardust! (that is his team) That old man over there! The one who can talk forever and ever --- non-stop! But most importantly, Mr. Nobles is dedicated to his profession. His thirty-one years of teaching experience helps students to understand our state, Georgia.
After being in his class for a few weeks, everyone starts to notice how much he cares about his students. I have never seen a teacher more supportive of the goals in his student's lives than Mr. Nobles. He teaches more than Georgia Studies; he teaches life itself. I don't know of any student who doesn't appreciate him! He treats his students fairly and equally in all situations. Not only is he a teacher, but he's also a caring role model. One of the best teachers ever, Mr. Nobles.
Wow! That is incredibly special! I bet a million dollars Randy cried when he read it. :)
ReplyDeleteI cried when I read it! But that girl nailed it...he can talk non-stop & teaches life itself.
