Hi! I'm David. My students call me Mr. D. I'm in grad school for a second time. After years of resisting, I finally decided to get my Master of Education Administration. At the end of this school year, I'll be trying to work my way to the Principal's Office. 

So, I decided to document my last year teaching! Follow along as I cover the crazies and the chills, the naughties and the nices, and the sweets and sours of an elementary school teacher. I'll reflect along the way in a look back, look forward, and look within so I don't forget everything I've learned in 14 years of teaching. 

All names, of course, are psuedonyms, with the exception of adults who have given me explicit permission to use their real name. Places and timelines are fictionalized just enough to protect identities. The only person who should ever look bad is me.
