"And you're an English teacher?" I get so sick and tired of that question.Do people really believe that because I love working with students in finding personal connections within literature, and enjoy spreading a love for the written word, I must sound like a walking/talking Webster every minute of my 25 hour day. Please give me a break. Don't expect philosophical words and quotations from me. I could surprise you, and myself, from time to time, but just don't expect it. And if you ask me a question worthy of a Jeopardy's Look into Literature column, please make it multiple choice: eenie meenie miney moe...
