“ A life in teaching is a stitched-together affair, a crazy quilt of odd pieces and scrounged materials, equal parts of invention and imposition. To make a life in teaching is largely to find your own way, to follow this and that thread, to work until your fingers ache, your mind feels as if it will unravel, and your eyes give out, and to make mistakes and rework large pieces. It is sometimes tedious and demanding, confusing and uncertain, and yet it is as often creative and dazzling: Surprising splashes of color suddenly appear at its center; unexpected patterns can emerge and lend the whole affair a sense of grace and purpose and possibility” -William Ayers in To Teach |
