Lessons From a Tiger Teacher by Deborah Bryan
My guest writer today is Deborah Bryan from The Monster in Your Closet. I found Deb after she posted a powerful, personal piece, and I praised her for being so brave. Then we got to tweeting. Then I won a contest she was running. Then we got to emailing. Then we got to exchanging phone numbers. Now I call her friend. Deb has a funky life. Sometimes she’s a mom. And sometimes she dresses up like a zombie. And sometimes she lands guest spots on reality television shows. Read Deb’s beautiful piece, check out her blog, and follow her. You will not be sorry….

Should everyone be expected go to college right out of high school? What else could kids who aren’t hard-wired to continue with formal education do rather than menial labor? Or do you believe that college is the only way to a better life?…
If You're Lucky: Guest Post by Chase McFadden
Today’s guest blogger sharing his teacher memory for #TWITS is the amazing Chase McFadden from Some Species Eat Their Young. I don’t know how I first stumbled upon Chase’s stuff, but I subscribed immediately. I honestly get giddy when his posts roll in. Chase is a comic genius.
