And those who can't...

From what I've heard, those who can, do, and those who can't, teach. Well, I imagine whoever's saying that has never tried to teach high school seniors why they should care about the conceits in John Donne's metaphysical poetry when graduation is only a few months away. That person has probably never tried to explain to kids why they need to read "Speech in the Virginia Convention" in English class when, "um, we just learned about that in History." And I would bet that someone who puts any faith in that saying has never attempted to educate, discipline, and inspire 30+ teenagers in the last 90 minutes of their 7 hour day.

Teaching is challenging, exciting, frustrating, entertaining, confusing, exhausting, inspiring, and no day is ever the same. I love it for all of these reasons and hope to touch on why with the occasional post on here. For now, check out Taylor Mali's performance about teaching:
