I was watching "Ask This Old House" yesterday and as they explained how a toilet functioned like a siphon by siphoning water out or a bucket, I thought, "I could use that to teach adhesion and cohesion...I wish I had used that example...Oh yeah, I'm not going to teach properties of water next year."
I still feel the rush to get as much done as possible before the return to school and the opening of the "show." I tell myself that this summer will never end, but my nervous system registers hurry.
I started by going through students comments from the late 1990s. Many expressed appreciation for how much fun my class was. Others talked about friends, sports and such. Even those who drew me kicking them out of class - we had love for each other. I feel sad for losing that energy by leaving teaching.
