I publish a monthly #Substack newsletter where I blab about my 41 years as an #Englishteacher . This one's about also being in a band, though. I used to tell people I taught to subsidize my #recordcollection but I didn't see streaming coming. open.substack.com/pub/phillipo...
The Greatest Story (Almost N)Ever Told (in a Classroom)
Teachers have a range of tendencies when it comes to sharing their personal exploits with their students. If I have a good story that has a reason to be told, I'll tell it. This one? Hmmm.

Top 10 Occurrences during my first two months #substituteteaching in #columbiamissouri in 2025 (been at it since 2023). Subbed again today for an art teacher at #davidhhickmanhighschool today and kids learned about @nickcaveart.bsky.social #educationblogs #publicschool
Song of the Youth: Substitute Teaching Update

Fetching Recordings from January 2025–For Month 1, Not Too Skimpy!
I am restless. As a teacher, I cannot teach the same lesson twice the same way (nor should anyone, but maybe I’m wrong). Last year, I tried to write more about the albums I loved on this blog…

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan.
