Today, this is why I love it:
-Heart to hearts with students (I think I'm finally starting to figure out that discipline is not always the real problem)
-Students getting excited about writing
-Students getting excited about Shakespeare
-Students giving themselves notes before I have to
-Feeling like notes are a group brainstorm instead of a dictatorship
-Convincing an administrator to make a guest appearance in the opening night performance of Anything Goes
-Parent meetings where I feel like an equal
-Being the sponsor of pot luck club (tonight's theme: Holiday ... as if I haven't eaten enough!)
and most of all ...
-Working in a school where I can tell my principal to "Man up" and instead of getting fired, we all have a good laugh. And my (adorable, old, and bighearted) assistant principal gives me a fist pound of approval.
