The best part of this article: So if you show up at my door saying, Heres a box from Pearson. Open it up, hand out the materials, read the script, and stick to the daily schedule. Do that, and your classroom will work perfectly, I will look you in your beady eyes and ask, Are you high? Are you stupid? Because you have to be one of those. Maybe both. Heres your metaphor for the day. Teaching is like painting a huge Victorian mansion. And you dont actually have enough paint. And when you get to some sections of the house it turns out the wood is a little rotten or not ready for the paint. And about every hour some supervisor comes around and asks you to get down off the ladder and explain why you arent making faster progress. And some days the weather is terrible. So it takes all your art and skill and experience to do a job where the house still ends up looking good.
