Wow, a 90 year old teacher

This is amazing, a 4'10" 90 year old teacher in the Los Angelos Unified School District: L.A. Daily News - News.

Aside from her age and energy, she is amazing because

" She also touches on five ways to maturity and the value of the Serenity Prayer -- "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change ..." -- which she expects her students memorize... "

and the ACLU hasn't sued her as yet!

If you read through to the end, you will find that she is on a teacher's pension and is not paid for her work at the school - she is a teachers union member, and the union does not insist that this woman be paid for all she does - which is a crime, really - but then, maybe that's why the ACLU hasn't thrown a fit about her teaching the Serenity Prayer to her students.

Thanks to Joanne Jacobs for the story.
