As much as I love teaching, I'm not sure I can go back to it.

The policies and politics are too much for me.

I did some form of physical activity every day (whether we had PE or not).

I rewarded the kids with special recesses outside (when the rest of the school was inside).

And recess? That was the time to let loose and RUN!
