I have been on the search for a while for additional documents about hedge schools in Ireland. When I am not engaging in family history and research, I am a healthcare worker, and I teach.
I sort of fell into teaching at the college level - one of my former instructors had an instructor back away from teaching a practical lab, and asked if I'd be interested, if I could help out last minute, so I gave it a go.
And it felt so natural. It still does. I still love to teach the same subjects with a joy that seems to reach back.
Every generation of my maternal side has had teachers for at least 200 years. So here I am, continuing the tradition.
I do enjoy reading the Schools' Collection, and this excerpt mentions family of mine. The collection is a fun, sweet read, with a trove of remembered experiences not found anywhere else.
