I teach a review class for 10th graders at an area middle school whose goal is improvement of English-- what my son Mike calls "English for Repeat Offenders." It never occurred to me I wouldn't have weekends off: that's downright un-American. Then I found out that this particular class runs seven days a week. I do try to make the class as interesting as I can for the inmates.
Note: Blogspot, which has been acting finicky, will not let me post and image just now-- I'll add it later. It's been difficultg to get on blogspot at all the past few days.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.
