He taught me geometry ... but looking back I don’t think he was the best teacher .

Teachers need to empower their students and show empathy. He never took the time to help me .

"Mr. K" was my CP Math 5,6,7,8 teacher from 1965 to 1967. His math lives on in me which I now share with my own students at Galileo Academy. Mr. K, your "Now here's something interesting!" lives on. Thank you!

I fondly remember "Mr. K" as my CP Math 8 teacher when I was a senior at GWHS back in 1967. One of the best teachers that I can recall from my formative years. He made it fun and I truly enjoyed math so it was a great time.
Rest in Peace!
