I consider my students to be my coworkers. They're always making fun of my car-free commute, but when I'm feeling under the weather they make fun of me for driving! That's okay, though. They're teenagers, after all. That's how they navigate social situations. But one on one, they ask me all kinds of questions about how difficult or how easy the commute is, how I deal with the idiot drivers and other idiot cyclists, how I deal with certain weather conditions...I may have done more good with my commute choice than with all my teaching!
