At Hogwarts, I’d dive into magical classes, explore the castle’s hidden secrets, and maybe even join a Quidditch game — all while enjoying butterbeer in Hogsmeade.

“How was your day?”

It’s a simple question. A kind one. But for teachers, it rarely has a simple answer.

Some days include breakthroughs that make your heart swell. Other days include copier jams, meetings that could have been emails, and students carrying more than they should have to. Most days include all of it at once.

Teaching is emotional whiplash. You’re asked to be instructor, counselor, chee Read more of this blog post »
