Why to the Fourth Power

 I teach because kids hate tests. And so do I.

actual test paper

I teach because a student asked me yesterday if I could eat 196 grapes in three minutes.

I teach to reach.

I teach to learn.

I teach because crayfish.

I teach because new territory. 

I teach because horizons.

I teach because provocation.

I teach because mindstorms.

I teach because bridges.

I teach because my students believed me when I told them there was a mice bucket challenge.

I teach because trees, because my child, because treehouses.

Me as a literal tree hugger

I teach because curiosity.

I teach because laughter and pigs.
