I am Taylor the Teacher. The box I escaped from a few years ago says that I love to help children learn. Actually, I love to teach anyone that will listen on any topic I know about. I can’t help it. It’s the way my manufacturer made me.
There used to be a “real” teacher behind this blog. She annoyed me. All she cared about was trying to improve the public schools, and bitching about how nobody cares about education anymore. Snoozeville.
So I’ve taken over this blog now, and I’m going to write about anything I damn well please. There’s plenty to learn from the world-at-large, putting the backwards 19th century American school system aside. ~this doesn’t mean i won’t poke fun at it now and then if the mood strikes~
I don’t keep regular office hours, but am happy to correspond with students at taylor_the_teacher at inbox dot com.
I'm Taylor. This is my classroom. There used to be a "real" teacher behind this blog, but she nagged me all the time about not saying this and not saying that. ~all she ever did was type anyway, since my fingers are stuck together~ So I've taken over.
Yes, I'm an imitation Barbie knock-off doll. What of it? Barbie's got nothing on me! Let me take you to school.
I’ve got to say this is one of the more unique ideas for blog presentation that I’ve seen, and I love this About page. Truly well done, Taylor (and your teacher friend too!).
And now I’ve got to say that yours is my very favorite comment/compliment I have received so far! Yay!
Hah. Well I’m hoping you’ve received quite a lot of comments or else that doesn’t mean very much. Heh.
I know a guy named Ken who’s considering leaving his wife, Barbie, for you.
It’s about time I got something over Barbie. That bitch has everything.
LOL. Claws in, hellcat.
hellcat — I like it. I might adopt it as a screen name someday! When I get more ferocious!
I think Henry Higgins says it to Eliza D. in My Fair Lady.
Looking that up makes me want to see that movie again. I’m not sure I watched it all the first time.
Hey, Taylor,
Hang in there. I just retired from teaching for over 40 years. Don’t know how long you have to go, but it does happen.
Actually, Patricia, I have sixteen days left to go, as I resigned from my teaching job on April 4, and don’t intend to teach next year. I may go back to it or I may not. For now, I’m free.
Miss you! Love the blog! You crack me up – like you’ve doing since we were freshman in high school. Did you get my message about the cherries? haha
Let me know how you are doing!
This blog is awesome. You always give me something to think about, and you do it with honesty and style.
new design! bee-bop!
new design, indeed! =) How ya been, ken?
