I’m a teacher. I like my job and most of my colleagues but darn, the assorted administrative tasks I have to do prevent me from doing the creative stuff that matters to me and keeps my soul rejuvenated. Like exploring a great website, planning a great lesson. All this gets pushed to the sideline to meet daily demands.

Having said that, I still stay in teaching. I probably can make it on my own as a private tutor but I like to belong to something that is greater than myself. An institution with its routines and rituals. Tradition. Innovation.
