Talk about a change of pace: here's a high school English teacher who's about to become the sole teacher to eight students in a one-room K-5 schoolhouse in a seriously rural area of Maine. Am I nervous about the upcomig year? Yeah, a little bit. But I sort of like being anxious, for it encourages me to be more prepared than I think I need to be. I remember feeling like this as a kid when I first learned how to dive off the high diving board.
