about this blog

I’m a teacher. I like knowing what goes on behind other teachers’ classroom doors. I’m curious about how others see teaching and learning. I’d like to understand why some of us are so effective and satisfied, while others struggle to make sense of why we teach and what we’re doing wrong.

Sometimes we’re silent about the problems we face every day, because we suspect that if we were better at our jobs, we wouldn’t have those problems at all. But I like hearing about other people’s problems, especially other teachers. I find other teachers’ problems very interesting.

Some of my stories are here. I’d like to hear some of yours.

    Nice blog. Thought I’d say hello. My husband grew up going to school in Montreal and I’ve always wondered how schools elsewhere function. I’ll keep an eye out for your experiences. Oh, and I am a teacher as well :)
