Coffee Break: Tom Rademacher on His New Book, the Moment He Wanted to Teach and Getting Hit by a Deer
Is teacher’s lounge coffee a thing? Or does everyone bring their own? Do you take a coffee mug to first period?
The teacher’s lounge in every school I’ve ever worked is always the emptiest room in the building. The idea that a school would provide coffee to their staff is sweet and dreamy and wonderful. I haven’t seen it happen.
Every year, I’ve had a coffee pot in my room, which has always been against the rules. Part of my morning routine is to come into school, make a pot of coffee and get caught up on emails and planning. My favorite coffee mug is one a student made for me before she graduated. It has a big cut-out of a deer on it to commemorate the time a deer hit me while I was biking to school one day.
