I just now realized my literary trauma must have occurred when I was a freshman, before I flunked out of Wis. for the third time, and entered the Army in 1963. Opdahl's first teaching gig at Wis. was in 1961. I graduated High School the year prior. I was even callower then than I thought!

We weren't, as the saying goes today, a good fit.Mathew Pausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157135006791553019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-15731099862465931672017-01-29T14:18:21.717-05:002017-01-29T14:18:21.717-05:00That is an interesting experience you shared here,...That is an interesting experience you shared here, Mathew. Not all teachers are good ones, although I am sure most of them try. And it sounds like you were reaching out and trying different things, which is a good thing in my book. I can't remember any of my teachers from college, except the one in statistics of psychology who expected perfection, although I remember several from high school that were helpful. I would not have gone to college at all if it had not been for my math teacher in high school. TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
