  We’re into the second week of school here this year. I’m still in the early getting-to-know-you period with my class, and we are all more or less on our best behavior, but judging from what I’ve seen so far this is going to be a good year. It’s my 27th in the classroom, and you’d think I’d have it down pat by now, starting off, but I don’t feel that way. I never do things “just like I always do” which would no doubt be boring. Not only that, the kids are always different. I usually map out a general course I’d like to follow and then see how it goes, taking my cues from the group. When I started teaching I imagined that the job would get easier over the years. That was a huge miscalculation. But I don’t mind because it’s also gotten more interesting in many ways.
