Oh baby. You’ve got it!

F’r instance: Why doesn’t my kid get a grade instead of numbers 1-4 for social studies and science? Because they aren’t tested at the elementary school level, that’s why.

I miss teaching. I was always amazed at their creative minds when they were allowed to be creative.

Well hell, I was gonna make the towel comment as well . .but I see I’ve been beaten to the punch.

A towel is “. . . about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. . . .” Thank you for knowing that. I feel better.

I tend to panic anyway. I think all educators do.

Teaching to the lowest common denominator has been my bugaboo since my kids were in 1st grade. They can “do it” on their own, but imagine what wings they’d grow if given the resources.

And don’t forget to pack your towel…..

Love it (and you’re correct- I continue to teach because our young ones need ME: no kill and drill and no test quest in MY class!)

But remember: “DON’T PANIC.”
