Last year I learned that this job doesn’t love you…no matter how much you love it. I vowed to keep things strictly business at that point and to never again make it personal. After today I may need to rethink that philosophy. Today was my last day at Ivy Prep Academy. I decided to move on for personal reasosns but the love my former students showed me this week was overwhelming. They reminded me why teachers work weekends, late nights, and early mornings…we do it for them and they’re worth it.

Wow. What happened?
@Richocet and ATLTeacher
It was just time for me to move on to another position for personal reasons. I’ll still be teaching mathematics in the middle grades but I’ll be back in the inner city.
More on that in the blog as I continue that journey…

Mr. Miles!! I was randomly searching for “comparing fractions” and stumbled upon your site— thank you google.
Hope everything is well!! I can’t wait to read this blog and hear whats new with the one of the best math teachers ever— speaking of, how in the world do you teach how to compare fractions?!?! This whole common denominator thing is tricky for the 4th graders!!
