Teacher of the year...

Today, I taught standing on a desk. In heels. I rule.

Truth be told, it was more of a desperate attempt to get 120 fourteen year olds to pay attention. Snow in Texas happens once in a blue moon, and it's not easy for a teacher to compete with that- especially when there are two enormous windows in my classroom. So, I did what any normal teacher would do. I stopped the lesson, grabbed a desk, pulled it to the front of the room, and climbed (in heels) up on top of it.

You should have seen their faces. They thought I had lost my mind. And maybe I did have a momentary lapse of judgement. But I'll tell you one thing...I had their full attention.

I win.
