Welcome, Welcome!
Hello, and welcome. I’m David Lance — teacher, occasional troublemaker, and, on this blog, the Meandering Maestro.
I started this blog to write about the things that don’t quite fit in the book: a good class period, a bad one, something a student said that I’m still thinking about a week later, a photo from Alaska or Madagascar or the Philippines that deserves more than a caption. Some of it will be funny. Some of it won’t be. That tracks with teaching.
If you’re a teacher, a former teacher, a future teacher, or just someone who likes a good travel story, you’re in the right place. More soon.
— The Meandering Maestro
