Introduction
I am Janet Gubser, an English teacher at Christ Church Episcopal School. I teach seniors at the college prep and Honors levels and I usually teach a section or two of another grade as well. When I was young my dad used to say that if I could read for a living then I would always be happy -- this is the closest thing I can do. I also love the fact that you just cannot get old when you are laughing every day and teenagers ARE FUNNY! Link to my summer blog.
