Aloha Dean, When I first opened your site these three strong words flooded my senses: nobility, dignity and respect.

I am not sure that there is a more noble profession in all of the world than teaching. When conducted with dignity and respect it is more powerful than a war machine. That you have placed the art of teaching on this platform paints a neon sign for the world to see into your heart.

Here is to the brush strokes of your success brother!

Aloha Lorraine!

Thanks so much for your comment. You truly are reaping the joys of generations of teachers. I’m sure you will continue that legacy for the next generation (in your own family and in the classroom). Please feel free to comment any time. Thank you for your encouragement and support.

Mahalo!

Dean

Aloha, Dean! I couldn’t help but smile as I read your Teaching with Aloha blog. I come from a very long line of teachers in my family (three of my four grand-parents have taught at various schools in Hawaii) and I’m very proud to be a part of that legacy. You will undoubtedly touch the minds and hearts of others as well. I wish you the very best and look forward to taking the journey with you through your words. All the best, Lorraine.

Hi Terry! Thank you for being one of the first to comment. And, thank you for realizing the specialness of teaching, not just in the classroom, but in life itself. Who of us is not a teacher? The demands placed on teachers today is huge and to hear your encouragement is so appreciated. So, on their behalf, Mahalo!

Aloha! Dean, I have a special place in my heart for the teachers in my life who inspired and challenged me – it is a noble calling that I greatly respect and admire. So I wish you well with this endeavor, and the guidance it will bring to those who are answering the call to this vocation.

All the best,
Terry

Mahalo, Dwayne!

You are the first one to comment and deserve a special prize! I, like you, am eager to see how this develops. I trust it will be a simple tool that inspires, in some way, everyone who reads it.

Aloha, Dean – this is a noble journey you’re beginning. After my initial exposure to the values of aloha I find them to be quite firm, but adaptable to just about any situation in life.

I can’t wait to see what develops here as the story (and the teaching) unfolds.
