I'd love to bring authors into my classroom, but I teach at the college level; I'm an adjunct instructor and a teaching assistant, which basically means that I don't have the clout or the money to bring authors into my classes. I wish I could, though; I'm sure the students would love it. Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.com
