I began teaching in 1987. My job is more like it was then than it is different. We go 8 am — 3 pm, Mon — - Friday, Sept- May, or some minor variation on that theme. We still give A-F for grades. We still wonder why Johnny can’t read, and the public is still upset because teachers make too much and get 3 months off. Chrome books? They are what Alan November calls the $1000 pencil.
