The ever-eloquent somniesperus beat me to all the good points about elementary school teaching. On the other hand, my cousin's been at it for 10 years now in one baaaaadass neighborhood, and he still hasn't cracked, so who knows? (It's a draw, by the way, on who I'd rather have teaching my children- you or him. In the best-case scenario, you both would, exclusively, till they both graduated college.)
You know, my whole year of semi-immersion in the public school system saw me vaccilating wildly between, "Dang, I want to do this full-time!" and "What kind of crack was I on to even agree to 5 classes a week?" Then again, I don't quite have your rapport with children. What age group are you most drawn to, by the way?
I love the pale aqua and brown combo, too; both with and without the addition of pink. It's my second most compelling color combination after pale aqua and lime green.
Yay for Leory getting shinier! And no, there isn't anything better than the eye contact-initiating-the-trotting-over thing, unless it's the Lab-centric, "OMG I'm so glad to see you that I need to quickly go find something to carry around in my mouth while I circle you wildly or I may combust from sheer excitement!"
