@pernilleripp My superintendent did not allow independent reading. She said it was a waste of instructional time. Guess what my students were doing every time she came to visit my classroom!
@this1is4ewe @Sporkfighter1 @AdrienneBranden I taught for 25 years, the last ten in middle school, and I loved every single day. Pedagogical nightmare indeed! Everything that I loved about teaching was gone.
@this1is4ewe @Sporkfighter1 @AdrienneBranden Same here. I retired in October at the end of the first quarter last year. It’s taken me this long to recover.
@FletcherRalph You can rest assured that you have accomplished just that. Over the years, your books have inspired my students to write stories that enable them, for the first time in their lives, to see themselves as writers.
