Auto-Ethnography

Abstract

I suppose that every occupation has a variable that keeps it fresh. Doctors see new patients, writers explore different subjects or themes, and electricians work on different circuits. As a teacher at Passages, a school catering to students awaiting trial, the building is the same, the books are the same, and I am the same. But my students are the one glaring variable in my occupation. They are always different, though their tenure is most often brief.
