What did you get to do today?
by Scott McLeod
You know what I got to do today? I got to talk to young adults about science. I got to pick their brains, and they picked mine.I ate basil grown in my classroom.
I dragged a human skeleton through the hallways, eliciting the usual stupid jokes.
I helped a student teacher become even better than she already is.
I found a rattlesnake bean in our classroom, cultivated by a student who grew up in an urban town. He planted it in November. It grew, using our breath to make the stuff we can now eat. Communion.
I got to sing, to teach, to dance, to play, and I got paid to do this.

i got to fail miserably with my students. then we got to experience remarkable things when failure is handled with grace.
