A couple of weeks ago, Sarah Thompson posted this to her Facebook.
-SPREAD the word & SHARE!!- This is my Math professor Dr. Josie Ryan with my son...She is amazing. She knows I worked and continued school @ USC while pregnant this past semester&Summer & I started her class the week before I had my son in August & started attending her class again the week after I had him. She knew I'd be overwhelmed so literally begged me to bring Isaiah to class & even showed me where the breastfeeding room in the health center was at Lander University. It's so reassuring to know there are professors out there like this. Not only is she an amazing person, she's also one of the best math professors I've ever had.. Brillant really.. She's wacky & the best kind of nerdy.. the kind I can relate to lol.. but hey!- maybe the world needs more of these teachers!.. scratch tht- it DEF does! Hopefully this post will encourage other educators or moms or pregnant/working women who are students to ask for help. She's encouraged me constantly & Ive brought him to our Real Analysis class multiple times now & he was an angel every time. He'll cut the cheese & make the class giggle from time to time but we still get down to some serious math in there. I am in a perfect world when I am learning math in college with my baby right next to me.. or in my teachers arms lol.. She taught like this-holding him- the whole first class I brought him to. He's 3 weeks old in this picture. Women are on the rise going to school & working with children. And my Boyfriend Chris is also in school and working as we learn to be parents & our families are beyond supportive of my decision to graduate within the first year of his birth & I couldn't do this without them. It's hard- but with support like this, how can I lose if I trust God & believe in myself!?
That’s some good teaching. This isn’t an isolated incident. There are superheroes masquerading as teachers all over our planet, like last year when Professor Joel Bunkowske at DeVry University in Tennessee held a single mother’s one-year-old during his class lecture when she could not get child care. Oh, damn allergies.
