7 years in NYC, both public and private.
I try and make it interesting. I try not to dumb it down. I try and make it make sense. I try and make the kids do it themselves.
I once covered a class for the dean in a big, bad, middle school in Brooklyn. When I entered the room to discover an interpretation of Royal Rumble going on behind a bookcase that had been shoved out from the wall, a student near the door casually remarked: "you know, mister, there are easier ways to make a living." Oh, wait...you said "shining teaching moment".
