Would You Want This Woman Teaching Your Children?

So the other day I had this job interview to teach in a charter school. 

As the principal was explaining to me their back-to-basics-ethical values philosophy, I had one thought in my mind: 

please don't find out about my blog please don't find out about my blog please don't find out about my blog please don't find out about my blog please don't find out about my blog and if you do find out about my blog please don't find out about my Blog Behind The Blog or worse, my Blog Behind The Blog Behind The Blog where I recently posted a picture of myself with cleavage. (If you missed it, scroll down to my previous post and click on The Back Door and then scroll down past Hillary and click on Blog Behind The Blog Behind The Blog. And typing this is like having to explain the punchline of a joke--but most of you missed it the first time)

I've had some reservations about returning to the classroom. But after my recent experience tutoring two second graders, I've started to think there are some positive points.  

First, you can't beat the energy and excitement elementary students have when the world of reading is opened up to them.  Second, the students have yet to be jaded about learning, and that is truly a beautiful thing.

Of course, there are drawbacks as well.  Let's just hope none of the students have been doing this:



Thanks to the soon-to-be ex for the photo.  Sometimes you come through, guy.
