Sometimes I'm so caught up in my work teaching that I forget who my real students are.
Who are the children I teach with every word, act, and omission? Who hears me in the car and from the other side of the bathroom door?
Yep. My kids. So today I took the three of them out to the Forsyth Farmers' Market, then out to lunch, and then the SCAD Mini-Comics Expo. We ran some errands, and then went to mass. They learned a lot, and I remembered that DAD is more important than my BA or MAT or even my cherished TOTY.
Key: BA - undergrad degree; MAT - "Master of the Arts in Teaching," my graduate degree; TOTY - Teacher of the Year, which I earned this year, big fancy pants that I am.
