Celebrate Teaching
This is Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4 to May 8) and also happens to be the last week a teaching career which has spanned four decades so I thought it might be fun to think and write about teaching this week. Today I have been thinking about the teachers I have loved or loathed or simply left an indelible mark on my life like Mrs. Nelson or Mr. Mike (see What You Missed That Day You Were Absent from Fourth Grade). Some poems to offer additional inspiration to consider the transcendent absurdity of teaching if you need it:
- A Teacher’s Lament
- Napoleon
- Transcendentalism
- For a Student Sleeping in a Poetry Workshop
- The School Where I Studied
