It's called an elbow lever. A planche is with arms straight and is more difficult. I can't do a planche.

But unless your a gymnast why would one want to?

Do you teach in Jefferson or W Milly?

But if true it shouldn't be.

Pittsfield, MA, I teach in the vocational high school. Two years ago it was said to be the school with the most violent incidents in western massachusetts (I assume there are schools in Boston that are more violent!). Despite the violence (teachers have been punched), I love the diversity of the school's population, but that's probably the writer in me. Lots of storylines and I'm already fashioning an HBO-type series about a "failed writer" (not that I consider myself that) from Holllywood who buys a house in Pittsfield with his girlfriend but winds up isolated because she gets forced to stay behind in LA, so he gets a job teaching math because nobody wants to teach these kids math (and for good reason!) and he was a former math wiz back in the day (I was high scorer and top board on my high school math and chess teams) and the kids (and teachers too!) treat him like he's famous because he wrote a handful of episodes for a Saturday morning cartoon ("Recess").

Btw, for the most part I get along great with the students, but I did have a run-in last year with a 9th grader (but already 6 ft tall and playing linebacker) who said "fuck you" to me. At the end of the class, I approached him and gave him an opportunity to apologize, which he refused and then got in my face (and kept calling me "my nigga" during the exchange). I didn't back down one bit, because I wasn't gonna let a 9th grader intimidate me, but a month later he got suspended for punching the 6'5" 250lb interim dean of students in the face (he was "interim" because they already had a dean of students and he was hired as basically the school bouncer, but they didn't have an official title for that job description).

I refused to go back to teaching math, mostly because of the 9th graders. I didn't mind the 11th and 12th graders, although I did have one get in my face over something. Instead of backing down, I actually moved a step closer so we were nose to nose, which made him laugh and say, "Chassman, you crazy!" He was a troubled kid who had lost his older brother to gang violence. I wound up getting along great with him which pleased his guidance counselor, the assistant principal, and his mother very much.

It's just something I've always been able to do with relative ease, I don't know why. I'm not a gymnast, nor did I ever excel at it in gym class.

and $5.25 will get you a venti oat latte at Starbucks.
