Today is a SUPER special guest post!
I realize I say this about ALL of my guest posts, but today? Today you get to read a little something by Miranda of Not Super…Just Mom. Y’all? (as she would say)…She is like my twin. In fact, we call each other “etwin”. She is a fellow snark-a-licious English teacher. She is a momma of a wee little man with curly blond hair. She is a fellow PPD survivor. And she is battling the same weight issues I am! If we weren’t a zillion states apart? We would be besties in a heartbeat.
She was one of the FIRST people I had on my list to ask to do this since she is just like I am as a teacher. She LOVES her students, is passionate about her calling, and tells it like it is. Oh, and? She takes no shiz from anyone.
Puh-LEASE go read this post about how she deals with shananagins in her class. Girl after my own heart, I tell ya! And then follow her on twitter. And then come back and read what she has to say here….

Love it! And as a former teacher I often would remind myself that sometimes there was more to learn than what was written in a textbook. Nicely done Miranda.
That's so true. If you learn nothing more in a class than a valuable life lesson, it's great! Thanks for sharing!
What a great post. 🙂 I was an aide for a year and sub here and there, and I really should take that approach with some of the students.
Such a great post Miranda. I think that the most memorable teachers I've had were the ones who taught us MORE than what was in the books. Those teachers left a mark in my life…I'm sure you doing the same and Katie too for so many of our future minds!
