I'm Mike.
I don't know if there are plenty of fellow teachers on this site, either English or North American, but welcome from a retired one from the former category.
Served my apprenticeship at secondary (high school) level; now have more time for music as opposed to mayhem.
Enjoy the diversity herein; there's even a good jokes section!
