Good Fun

Today I was reminded why I have stayed in teaching.
It's good fun.
Over the years, the rules become easier to see and follow.
Patterns of behaviour become almost too predictable.
But in the moment!
In the place called the classroom, where teacher and student meet, transact, share time, space and joy...
This is a magic place.
A place where the lesson exists of itself.
It is its own reality, owing nothing to outside forces.
A place where fun can happen, according to the unseen, undiscussed laws of contract between teacher and students, conductor and orchestra.
