"At first, teaching is like driving a car on the highway when you are 16. Things are coming at you, and you have to be able to make decisions fast. The road turns. Sometimes it snows. Day becomes night. Other drivers can be drunk sometimes. Other times they fall asleep behind the wheel. You try not to fall asleep behind the wheel. If you don’t die, that’s good. If you get to your destination without killing anyone else--even better." JB
