3 Reasons for Teaching
I HATE THIS SO MUCH.
Why? Because introductory conversations always go like this:
Me: I’m a history teacher.
Person: Oh, you’re a teacher! It must be so nice to get summers off.
THANKS FOR IGNORING EVERY OTHER ASPECT OF MY JOB. Do I say: “Oh, you’re a (insert job here)? It must be nice to have your weekends off not grading papers!!!!!!!!!!” NO. Also, what am I doing this summer? Working part time, grad classes, and restructuring my curriculum for next year.

About
Who I am: A third year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.
What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.
What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.
What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
