Oh, great. Just what the world needs, another blog.


According to goggle Blog Search, there are currently 2,565,746 blogs with the word"teacher". So why should any one care about another teacher writing another blog? Well, I don't care what anyone else thinks. This is therapy. After putting up with a 131 (on roll) teenagers all day, teachers need to occasionally vent (if you spend any time in public education you would understand). I was thinking about starting a "reflective" journal during my first year of teaching, but never got started. I'm not some youngster fresh out of college with his first teaching job. I spent 15+ years in the business world before I got into teaching. I feel this is a major asset to me and my teaching style. I got into teaching because I wanted to do it, not because I wanted paid summers or become head coach of whatever team.

I guess my ultimate goal is to "share" those experiences, express how I see the profession, and give readers an occasional laugh. If you want more than that, go find something else to read. I'm only one man.
