Thank you Mike at A Bit About Britain for your lovely comment. Did you know my hero teacher is Mr. Chips? Perhaps he has been tucked away somewhere in my heart, as he has been beloved to me long before I became a teacher. The fact that you equate me with Mr. Chips makes me very, very happy and deeply grateful.
That’s a lovely tale, Jennie. So many teachers I know have become cynical (maybe they were to start with), but not you – you see the path, don’t you? I reckon you’re a kind of latter-day Mr (or Mrs, of course) Chips!

That’s a great comment.
I was bowled over!
What a compliment! I loved loved that movie and character
It was a wonderful complement. I’m glad you you liked Mr. Chips, too.
What a wonderful compliment. I too loved that movie. xo
It was wonderful! I need to watch the movie again. Thanks, Darlene.
That Robert Donat film version is a real classic. And a tear-jerker too! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
It is! One of the great films. Best to you, Pete.
That is a heart warming story and a lovely compliment to you 🙂
It really is. Thank you.
We all see it, Jennie. That’s why you’ve earned such respect. By the way, I had never seen Goodbye Mr. Chips until one of my professors showed it to us in one of my teaching prep classes.
Pete, that is so kind. Thank you! Which movie version did you see? The original was in 1939. Greer Garson was his wife. Hats off to your professor! I wish this movie was mandatory watching for all new teachers, required training in college. Sigh!
That’s the one we saw.
👍
You are deserving of it.
Thank you.
I have not seen the movie but will surely see it on Netflix if it is there. Thanks Jennie.
It is a classic! The original is 1939, and I highly recommend it.
Thanks 🙏🏻
🙂

That’s a very big compliment, brava!
It really is, Liz. I am humbled. Have you seen the 1939 movie? I must watch it again.
I’ve seen the Peter O’Toole remake.
Me, too. The ’39 is my favorite, especially Greer Garson’s performance.

Thank you, Michael!
After i had looked up who Mr. Chips is, its a great compliment, Jennie! Congratulations, and enjoy a fantastic weekend! xx Michael
It was, indeed! Thank you, Michael. Happy Sunday.
Ah well v apt. I can be transported back to cold wet Sunday afternoons in the 60s when old black and white movies came on the TV. This was one favourite I recall alongside William Powell and Myrna Loy mysteries the Titchfield Thunderbolt, Will Hay comedies Abbott and Costello… oh you memory jogger Jennie!
I loved the old black and white movies. Glad this triggered memories for you. You mention excellent ones. Ah, Barbara Stanwick in Stella Dallas, Jimmy Stewart in It’s a Wonderful Life. What is the name of the movie where he skiis downhill at the end, fleeing the Germans? Thanks for adding your movies.
BTW, I have not forgotten your comment to post my pool fish and their many names. Stay tuned this week.🙂
I certainly think it was an appropriately deserved compliment, Jennie. I hadn’t thought of Mr Chips for years until your writing inspired it, but have now dug out my old dog-eared copy to re-read. The Donat/Garson film version is wonderful – full of pathos – the recitation of the boys’ names… A lost world. Definitely one for a damp Sunday afternoon! Regards, Mike.
Thank you, Mike! Yes, reciting the boys’ names… ah! I think this should be required reading (or watching) for every new teacher.
Happy reading on a damp Sunday.
Time for me to read that book!
Enjoy!
Have you read my books on amazon? Trust me they are amazing, names – vengeance by ismail dreycold, your thoughts, your actions by Ismaila damilare. They are lovely God bless you has you read.
I love “Mr. Chips”-what a beautiful comparison for you.
I was stunned and thrilled. It was a wonderful complement, and also a wonderful book/movie.
What a lovely comment, Jennie.
Never seen this movie now it’s on my bucket list. 😊
