About Me
Proud to be a public school teacher for 21 years, I see teaching as a radical act. Practitioner of Neo-schoolmarmism. Almost ready to move into a new sphere of teaching, as I completed my certification to become a school library media specialist, and hope to move to a libary sometime soon. I am a convinced Quaker, mother of 3 daughters, passionate about issues of peace and social justice. My mom was a "red diaper baby", my dad was a conscientious objector during WW2, and I grew up in the thick of anti-war protests in Madison, Wisconsin in the sixties. Not a Republican bone in my body (not even my funny bone, because they're NOT FUNNY!)
You're trapped in a well with a goat and a slinky. Describe how you will escape.
I will be resigned to my fate, which is to live out the rest of my life at the bottom of a well, subsisting on a diet of feta cheese. Thankfully I can recite the entire text of "Dr. Goat", so neither the goat nor I will be bored.
