Relentless pursuit of excellence?

This is an experiment, a space to record ignorant, unintelligent, and/or just plain hilarious quotes from me, my students, friends, and co-workers.

I teach 8th grade English in the South Bronx. Don't let the fact that I am an alumna of a prestigious teaching program fool you. My first two years teaching were a complete failure. Year 3 is shaping up to be okay, but I still laugh at myself and everyone at my school every day.

Because, let's face it, sometimes we are all just complete failures.
