I have just finished grading final exams, calculated and posted grades. I have finished my 65th semester (32 1/2 years) teaching at a large suburban high school near Chicago. I have one more semester to go.
Many colleagues have asked me how I feel, whether I am counting down the days. I'm not sure how I feel. I have joked about not knowing what I want to do "when I grow up." I haven't started counting--I don't know exactly how many there are yet. I love what I do, but time marches on, and the system tells me that this is the best time, financially, to go.
So I am starting this blog to help me look at the last semester of my last year at my school.
I started kindergarten the day after Labor Day in 1957, so with the exception of a year and a half that I worked in business, I have been part of the educational system for a heck of a long time.
We'll see how it goes.
