Another teacher here. For years I taught drama, which was ideal. Now I’m a high-school Independent Study teacher.

I have 30 kids that I see individually, for an hour each. I may be doing Shakespeare with one kid, algebra with the next, and modifying a ’68 El Camino with the one after that. Art, science, psychology, government — yeah, EVERYTHING. There’s a lot of counseling involved, which I love, and about half my kids have ADHD, diagnosed or not.

Best job in the world, except for the paperwork, which turns into a nightmare at the end of each grading period (9 weeks.)
