Back when I was teaching, I had a student I could not manage. Control was never my strong suit, and, in a school for creative writers with admission based on passion and talent, rules seemed antithetical to the culture of unfettered expression. (For context, the creator of “Euphoria” was once a student there, so draw your own conclusions). Still, even in a freewheeling culture, this student pushed the boundaries.
There are certain professions, teaching being one, in which you have to labor long enough to realize how much some people depended upon their facade…and how much they needed you to not fall for it.
You know the terrain, Arnie! It's an incredible place to be.
Thank you, P.! I forgot the crucial word "blade." Just added it. That's what happens when you stay up all night figuring out the wrap. XO

I’m currently in that very (wonderfully frustrating) lions den!
Love this.❤️
