Anne Schwartz has it under control.
Never mind that she’s fresh off her student teaching or that her Tales from the Chalkline is just two months old. You’re looking at a teaching and blogging star on the rise right here.
Going forward, I’m going to need your classroom anecdotes like a junkie needs a fix. This one has set me up for a week:
Student: Why do you want to be a teacher, Ms. Schwartz?
Anne: Have you met you? You’re awesome. I get to hang out with kids like you all day!
Student: Okay but why do other teachers want to be teachers?
Anne: Probably for the same reason, because kids are awesome.
Student: That’s not true. You’re the only teacher I have who likes us.
Anne is local to San Diego and she’s looking for a job. Someone do something about that.

Thanks for the shout out. my blog readership just went from ten to 228. crazy town.
p.s. I still think it’s sad you’re leaving the classroom but I am excited to see the cirriculum goggle puts out. I met a woman at NCTM who was working on that also.

My sister has a fashion blog and I’m starting a math-ish teaching blog, so I imagine you’re the hybrid of the two of us.
