I taught elementary school for 17 years, and history at my community college for 12, most of those overlapping. The best preparation for teaching college was teaching elementary school. I brought "toys" to every class (my favorite was a plush "plague rat"), played period music as they walked in, passed around artifacts that they could see and touch, often made period food, and made home-made cookies on exam days. Most of my Western Civ students came back for the second semester.

Thanks for making us to understand the importance of Slow down, stay connected

Most public school administrators demand, demand, demand your time with "duties" that eat any chance you have to prepare, rest, and reflect at your workplace, and endlessly changing bureaucratic rand political requirements. I envy any teachers that had Gerry Brooks as a principal. I left after 17 years, totally burned-out. I teach college now, where I am respected and can nurture my students.

I just saw this for the first time. I loved it and also loved that you did it in a regular voice. I forwarded it to my NYC teacher’s group. I retired 21 months ago but feel that it’s still helpful.
