I just watched this and it filled me with so much inspiration and hope. I love Bono too, and though he didn’t write this poem, I feel it fits brilliantly.

Thanks for posting!

I love that teachers are eccentric! Embrace it! I love that we’re in a profession where we can truly be ourselves, and the more you are yourself, the better you are as a teacher. Plus I think being quirky is awesome. I had to hide that in my last job and it made me sad

BTW, hello, I am from cohort 2!

You are right you know! Students love some eccentricity in teachers – it makes them near normal in their ‘eyes’! I laughed when I read this post, but I do hope that you are now feeling better. I would like to also thank you for your suggestion on my Rules for Blogging post. I love your idea of blogging being communal. That is one of the reasons that I always use to stress the importance of blogging. Although I had added a small piece on the commenting I shall go back and add a more noticeable one. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my blog post.

Well I guess you have my secret now.. but my crazy gets way out of controll… like laughing at my own sweat patches the size of small dinner plates by repeating out load the anchorman quote – although altered “Grey was a bad choice”, proceeding to lean over with legs crossed for fear of wetting myself… hmmmm a whole lotta crazy. Love it Geoff!!

Crazy is pretty much a requirement for art teachers isn’t it?

Don’t know I could look myself in the mirror if “Friday” became a regular part of my lessons.

I think I was going to remember your classes for reasons other than that you were crazy.
