Math teacher adds up 75 years in classroom
BALTIMORE, (UPI) -- A 93-year-old Maryland math teacher marking his 75th year at the head of the classroom says he is still teaching three classes a day and has no plans to quit.
Paul Miller said he first began teaching in 1934, after obtaining a degree in elementary education from "the cheapest school that I could find," and he has now been teaching for an estimated 27,000 school days, ABC News reported Tuesday.
Miller eventually earned two graduate degrees from Johns Hopkins and Louisiana State University, often teaching college-level math courses alongside his workload at Ner Israel high school outside Baltimore, where he has taught for 51 years.
"The greatest thing is, you see the product of your work and you can take pride in it," Miller said of his profession.
Guinness World Records said the longest-ever serving teacher was Medarda de Jesus Leon de Uzcategui of Venezuela, who began teaching when she was 12 and continued for 96 years.
