Fab Footwear!

First item of business, I have changed my name to Mr. Hatcher so that I can keep some anonymity. How horrible would it be to lose a job because I want to laugh at the funny things my students do and say? Art Linkletter and Bill Cosby made careers out of it. I have to be a little more cautious.

Now for the good stuff. I heard the greatest thing today. My colleague who teaches fifth grade has a student in her class who may grow up to be a bit confused of his gender identity. Totally fine and besides the point when you are ten, however his quote is remarkable:

"You know, I really like Mr. Hatcher. He wears flip-flops on Fridays and my mom and I were talking about how refreshing it is to see a teacher really go casual."

It is good to know I am the topic of conversation for students (and parents!) that are not in my class.
