I think there’s a misunderstanding by some teachers on here that having a teaching degree magically makes you a “master teacher.”

Does anyone find it ironic that some teachers will complain about working outside of their contract hours but then expect students to do homework at home?

What if teachers broke down game film like football coaches?

Imagine if each week you reviewed at least one hour of class “game film.”

I think that would go a long way to improving teaching.

I’m thinking about creating a company called, “Retirement Bourbon,” where you order a bottle on your first day of teaching, we age it, and send it to you on the day you retire.

Who wants a bottle?!
