I love teaching.
Slide discussing salutary neglect. With an image of a phone with a picture of Boston and an @ of Mass1630 with Big Ben with a stack of money saying “as long as they don’t bother me and I get my money, I don’t care what they do” Taylor swift lyrics from “you’re losing me” on a slide titled the neglected colonies.

I made a slide show on foreign policy during the 21st century (tbh it’s just not Cold War stuff)

And every single one of the presidents is on the phone. And I love past me for that.

I got up and started crying this morning at work. These kids don’t know how much this means to me.
Students give thanks for teachers hard work in the classroom, creating a safe space, and patient.
