About Me
- Jane McCabe
- The Fifties: I was a little kid. Think "Leave it to Beaver." The Sixties: preteen and teen. Think the daughter in "Mad Men." The Seventies: College, master's degree, work as a journalist and TV writer, marriage, and a baby. Think "Annie Hall." The eighties: Mommyhood, some part-time work. Think "Thirtysomething." The nineties: Drama mom, sports mom, soccer mom, part-time college instructor teaching memoir writing. Got teaching credential at the end of the decade. Think "For Better or For Worse." This decade: teacher at San Mateo High School. Lots of graduations in my family and at the school. Think "Saved by the Bell!" Note: I cannot figure out to underline or italicize, so I resorted to "quotes."
the new semester is so tough. I think the constant talk about budget going down, down, down is stressing everyone out.
ReplyDeleteBefore our class tomorrow, I wanted to try commenting on someone else's blog. I also grew up in the 1950's (in Cleveland Heights, Ohio). I was very content to leave it to Beaver. Or Wally. Or Captain Kangaroo. I was a financial analyst and stock and bond trader before becoming a teacher. Two weeks into my first year as an emergency credentialed middle school teacher, 9/11 happened. Two years ago, I reinvented myself as a high school English teacher at BHS (which, ironically, are also my initials.
ReplyDeleteI think this is enough for a blog comment. I hope to actually talk to you (you know, when actual sound waves travel from one person's vocal chords to another person's ears...) at some point. Hope the class tomorrow is as much fun as writing sub plans was...
