Over a year ago, Gavin Newsom walked into my classroom. He was visiting our school as part of a city wide disaster drill in 2008. I will refrain from expressing my opinion of him. One of my more recalcitrant students asked him, "How old are you?" "How old do you think I am?" Newsom replied. "Oh, forty." I'm sure with his well coiffed hair and charming smile, he thought he'd garner a lower number. I was left feeling...well...not impressed.
ANYway. It turns out I was on the news that night but I never saw it. In my mailbox at school today I found a clipping from Sunday's paper. I thought, "Why the F is this in here?" But upon closer inspection...yes, there they were, my former students, complete with small sign in the lower right corner that said, 'Room 4 Ms. Casey'.
Ah, my 30 seconds of fame.
