Ah, the memories!
I just did something I've not done in years. I proofread a paper.
An eighth grade boy just came up to the desk with a paper he wrote about a trip to a local museum. He asked me to "correct" it for him, and I spent a few minutes marking it up with a handy red Flair and suggesting some changes to make it better.
It really felt good to do that for somebody again. The funny thing is, I had just finished doing something similar. One of the other users on Linkfilter was getting ready to send an article off to an online music magazine, and he asked for proofreaders, so I did that for him.
Funny how things come back around. I taught high school English for three years, and when I left, I thought those skills would go on the shelf, but everything useful gets used eventually.
