I stayed with Schultz during Prep to start work on the the plan for my discussion thing. But before that I asked her a bunch of questions about teaching and tenure and stuff. I got a lot of info about teacher evaluations and how a person goes about voicing one's opinions about a teacher that one thinks sucks.
When I was working on the discussion, I had a lot of trouble because I didn't feel like I was an authority on Death of a Salesman. I mean, I've only read it the one time, and I wasn't even very careful about it. I thought that if I was to teach something, it should be completely original thoughts that I came up with myself.
Apparently teaching is a lot like creative writing, where it's all about choosing the right sources to steal from, and adjusting them to make them your own.
