I was a student of Mr. Rouse 40 years ago. I was in his last class of 4th grade and was lucky enough to get him for 5th. He is the 1 teacher I still remember. He tought us more about life and economics than any other teacher in my life. We all had jobs, we cared for our class chinchilla, Melissa and at the end of the week we were given units to buy things with. He made learning fun. RIP
