I'm so honored! I love your blog, because you balance the gritty realities of teaching with a clear dedication to it and your students, despite everything. As a 4th year teacher, I think that's the balance you need to stay in this field, and be effective, for the long haul.

Anyhoo....I'm a girl! (And I really do try to keep work and quickies apart, generally speaking.)

Thanks very much for your kind words. Your blog makes me think as well, sometimes about the very things I don't wish to think about, so you must be doing something right.

Nic, I apologize, and I've changed the pronouns accordingly.

As you mention Rodin,
The scheiss hits the fan.
Do I bore you?
Do my posts stink?
My head hurts;
I need a shrink.
I suppose that my posts
Make people drink.
No hard feelings, Jane.
You ARE a deep thinker.
I may be chopped liver,
But, my surname's a clinker.

The occasional quickie in her classroom? I have to start reading that more regularly.

Hehe.. I didn't know selecting 5 blogs would be so hard. I would have started it as 10 blogs that make me think! In any case, I think its better like this because only really good content gets the deserved exposure. Regards, ilker.
