At the publication of this blog post I turn 48 years of age. What makes this age cool for me is that it marks exactly half my life spent educating youth in grades 4 through 8. I started teaching 4th and 5th grade in South Central Los Angeles in 1991. I was 24 years old.
This is my 24th year teaching so that makes it exactly half my life thus far spent teaching. I thought that was pretty cool. 🙂
Of course, if you take into account that before I started teaching I had spent most of my first 24 years on Earth as a student either in Pre-K through 12 grade or in college then I’ve been in schools most of my life! Aside from odd jobs here and there to make money I haven’t really done anything else but education. Does that make me an expert?
