Hello friends! It's Friday, and that means that I am participating in Hillary's Friday Post.
I was racking my brain trying to think of favorite...anything. And then it hit me , what was my favorite job. Most of you know that I am stay at home momma, but I am a teacher by trade. I used to teach high school here. I taught students Government and Economics. Sound hard...it's not! I promise...just ask my students! I ALWAYS tried to make my job and my class fun! Teaching Government does not sound like fun does it? But, when you apply it to current day issues, such as the previous presidential election, rules of Congress and their powers and market economics. It becomes fun!
My last year of teaching(last year) I had an Honors Gov't/Econ class that had LOTS of smart kids in there. Those kiddos kept me on my toes! They were constantly asking me questions about the election, can Congress do this or that. We had a ball! I truly looked forward to that class coming in everyday. When we discussed the Congress, one half of the room would be the Senate and the other half would be the House of Reps. and they would find real bills that were currently waiting in line to be debated on the floor. Each group would have to purpose a bill and debate the bill and actually vote the bill through or let the bill die(getting rid of the bill altogether).
I won't bore you with all of the details, but it was an fun job! I feel like the job I'm doing right now is more important(raising a child) but can't wait to get back to the classroom...well...not that fast :)

You know my favorite class was Government. Mrs. Hanahan is one of my favorite teachers. She made me think for myself and I think that makes a great teacher. I'm sure you did the same thing.
I had a great government teacher in high school who let us have free days every now and then. And that's how I learned to play craps. Can you believe that happened at HA? ha! (pun intended)
And then he was let go because we were teaching our parents all KINDS of games. I haven't thought of this in so long! Haha!! Thanks for the memory recall and I know you were- and ARE- a fantastic teacher!!
If teaching high school is one of your favorite things than you must gave a calling!
