Welcome to Yo, Miss!

Welcome to Yo, Miss!

If you don't get the title, you're probably NOT an inner-city middle school teacher. Lucky for you, I am.
I'll be posting my adventures in my career, ranging from the exasperating to the utterly hilarious. I'll try to only post positive things, as I do still enjoy my job and would like to keep it. If you know me, keep my location and my kiddos hush-hush, I appreciate it. If you don't know me, read on.

I will say that I am finishing my fifth year as a music teacher, choral director, and basketball coach in one of the largest urban districts in my state. Our district has 85% below the poverty line, but the kids and people I work with are certainly special. I always wanted to be a teacher in an inner-city setting, and someday I'd like to educate young educators about what it takes to cut it in these schools. I think it takes a sense of humor, mostly, like when you learn 24 classes of students first and last names, but you're still just "Miss"....hopefully you chuckle.

So welcome, hope you visit often, and I hope you find the stuff on here as funny as my teacher friends and I do.
