So who's part of the 29%?

yea, and as big a fan of my own education as I am others :)

Currently, though, I am not teaching except for co-teaching a couple university courses, which is different from having my own high school classroom. I stopped teaching so I could work on my PhD full time, and moved from Houston where I was teaching in Katy to Univ of Toronto because of the Ed program here at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).

So it will probably be another 2-3 years before I am done and before I can get back in the classroom, and it can't happen soon enough! I miss it so much - dream about it a couple nights a week on average.

And this PhD is NOT to become an administrator. I couldn't do that - that's just not my style. I wanna become a better teacher and I thought this way would be the best.

Alright, unsolicited autobiography /off.

Super, RazorOye! I'm envious.

I was a military instructor for 15 years. Now, after five years off the podium, I do find myself longing to get back into the classroom again.

Seriously, I've been stuck at a crossroads in my life for the past six months and I think it's finally boiled down to going back for my MA and my PhD if I can find a way to live off my military retirement while I do so. Maybe someday, I'll join you and Reb.

Alright, unsolicited autobiography /off. :plus-un2:
