What Teachers Make

March 25, 2009 in Books, Bring It, School with 2 Comments

Those of you who know me (if only from the Wanted posters on the wall of the Post Office) know that if there’s one thing I love, besides Cthulhu, it’s slam poetry.

What? No, really.

Many are the hours I’ve spent playing and re-playing the CD in Spoken Word Revolution and more even than these are the hours I’ve spent enjoying the poetical stylings of Taylor Mali, full-time schoolteacher, part-time living god of spoken word poetry.

Behold Taylor Mali, on What Teachers Make:

“You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking, which is: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it.”

Taylor Mali What Learning Leaves

    You’re welcome. You should just be able to post the link to the post, or maybe the URL of the YouTube and get it on there. I played it for some students today, and they were absolutely out of their minds at its awesomeness!
