Don’t You Think Age Is Only A Number? - June 17, 2017

I’ve been a working mom for nearly 20 years, if you count teaching-middle-school-while-pregnant (not an easy feat, believe me). I have to say – it’s made me a better mom. I’m not trying to judge here. I wouldn’t assume to know your story – I’m just sharing mine. I strongly believe we all make choices […]

Don’t You Think Age Is Only A Number? - June 17, 2017

Most days, teaching middle school is a pretty neat job. I get to be on the front line of education. I get to create lessons that not only educate and align with state mandated curriculum, but also that occasionally spark a 13 year-old’s curiosity (no easy feat, believe me).

Honestly, I don’t think we give teenagers enough credit. They really have some cool ideas about the world. They recognize what’s messed up, what’s good, and what needs to be changed. They really do. I’ve spent the better part of the last 25 years around teenagers every day. Many, many people think I’m crazy. They […]

Don’t You Think Age Is Only A Number? - June 17, 2017

This year I’m celebrating 25 years of teaching! I started as a 7th grade English teacher back in the 90s, and have shifted around between 5th (briefly-very briefly after Lily was born), 7th, 8th and 9th grades – but my favorite is 8th grade. I know, I’m a little crazy, but I love their […]
