The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie
Great book - the movie Smoke Signals is also great.
Iāve surprisingly never seen the movie, but I read the book once a few years ago. I was given a list of titles to choose from to write a paper on and figured Iād take another shot at it now that Iām older. Brought tears to my eyes by the end of the introduction, haha.
I used excerpts when I was teaching middle school - I really loved his writing.
What did you teach? English?
Yes. Mostly HS, but MS in Brooklyn for two years.
Iām planning on teaching history or going to law school after I finish up college, but English teaching has always been something Iād be interested in. I love reading and writing.
Iām pretty sure you canāt reach both history and English thoughā¦maybe you can but Iāve never heard of one doing it.
What grade level do you want to teach?
High school. I couldnāt handle little kids and I donāt have the personality to be with middle schoolers.
You can in a private school.
I taught History, Algebra, and Geometry to junior kids at a charter school. The hassle of it is making multiple lesson plans. Much easier to stick to one subject.
True. I went to a private school (not a fancy one) for a few years, and I donāt think half the teachers even had degrees. They taught whatever they needed to. Iād like to be in a public school though. I plan on staying in my hometown and would work at the local public high school.
Yeah, I suppose it would be. What was your degree in? Did you just teach the variety of subjects because they needed someone to?
My degree is in Political Science. I started teaching 4th grade Math, Science, and Social Studies, then moved to middle school. And yes, basically because they needed me to. I taught here the first four years it was open: https://ideapublicschools.org/
