That is a quote from page 34 of my friend Dave Greene's new book, Doing the Right Thing: A Teacher Speaks, for which I will provide a review in this space in the next week or so.
It is also my new sig line here.
It is for others to decide what kind of teacher I am.
My intent is to change lives by challenging and empowering my students.
Other than my commitment to Leaves on the Current, it is the most important part of my life.
It is why I unretired.
It is why I will be returning to my current school next year, when I will be 68, so long as they want me.
Make of it what you will.
Peace.
