Got the best first-weeks-of-college email from a former student, and it totally made my whole day. Like, come at me with your unfinished stuff and missed deadlines. Can’t faze me now.

One great thing about teaching: It’s 4:43 pm on a Friday and I’m already in pjs browsing takeout menus.

I’m proud to teach at a high school that has made #medialiteracy a freshman requirement. That I get to co-teach it with a badass library media teacher is an added bonus.

Congratulations to the author team of Janet Ewell, Michelle Balmeo, Ellen Austin, and Randy Hamm on the release of the 2021 Journalism: Publishing Across Media text, which explains core journalism concepts to high school students. Take a look: g-w.com/journalism-2021

Nothing like deciding at 8:45 pm on Sunday night that the way you’ve taught something for the past 11 years is kind of meh and you should reinvent it entirely the night before you teach it. #teacherproblems

Former El Estoque EIC Alice Lee killing it. Again. Period.
