I love the reaction when kids accomplish what they never thought they could
do in art! It excites me no end.

I can be me as an art teacher.... and wear artsy clothes. The other teachers
don't even blink. "Well, she's the art teacher. Wad da ya expect?" I think if
I was a math teacher (it'll never happen) I'd be more stuffy and anal.

We can be different... after all we are artists. Like, I brought kazoos to
our faculty holiday party and our arts department tooted all the winter-holiday
carols . "Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin"...I decided we put the oomph
into our school! ;o>
