Seminary teachers around here are parent volunteers and almost without exception have kids enrolled in EMS. The outside-of-release-time experience seems like it is an entirely different beast.

The healthy navels and marrow filled bones may be different than those promised in Section 89, and I’ve been more than fine with the extra weariness.

I had one seminary teacher who was a little goofy, but a good dude. The rest were good."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I remember two teachers. Both very diligent, but not great teachers."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I liked my release-time teachers better than the EMS teacher in 9th grade. But they were all fine. Any of them would have written a glowing recommendation for my BYU application, had it been required at the time."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

I had mostly good teachers.
My 9th grade teacher in JR high was a bit of a crusty old hard liner, but the rest were really good guys.
I took EMS at the high school building in 10th grade because I wanted to take an extra class. But I didn’t go consistently enough for credit, and so didn’t graduate from seminary. My grade 11 guy was a really good RB at highland HS back in the day and showed us some highlight films. That was fun. For grade 12 I had Vaughn Featherstones son, who was a lot of fun. Very unorthodox, fun lessons. I don’t know how he made it through the seminary teacher program......
All in all, I enjoyed it.
EMS outside of Utah can be very hit and miss (in my three state experience). Scary hit and miss.
My daughter didn’t graduate, and we didn’t make her go. A lot of it was counterproductive.Last edited by Brian; 03-24-2019, 09:29 AM.I intend to live forever.
