I teach elementary school in a rural town in Ontario, Canada. It's a low socio-economic area and the kids, particularly the boys, are very disengaged in the learning process. I work my butt off to make as much as I can edu-tainment. I come in in characters (full costume) I teach in various accents and I even record myself so that I can play the lesson I could have done in person as a television show (you'd be surprised how engaged kids are when you do the SAME thing as you would in person, but put it on a screen). I'm no Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, but maybe I could make some Tim Robbins money...</p>SquibbedWed, 12 Aug 2009 15:58:36 -0000
