Vicki Davis says:
Sometimes people ask me why I write and teach. Part of me has to write – I feel made to do it and to not write would be like asking me not to breathe or be me. But I also know that all the research I have to pour into my writing projects make me a better teacher.
If you jump in a bowl of clam chowder – you start fitting in — likewise if I jump in a bowl of excellent teaching practices each time I work – I feel like my own practices level up and become scented with the aromatic greatness of incredible teachers around the world.
