Teachers’ show-and-tell in Ossining

Teachers will be holding workshops to share their passions with students – at Claremont School this week and Ossining High School Dec. 12.
According to BOCES school communications coordinator Chris Heath, the workshops run the gamut, from wrestling to yoga to different arts and crafts.
What a great idea. Think of the levels on which it works: offers kids fast introductions to stuff they might be interested in but haven’t been introduced to at home or in school; demonstrates life-long learning; makes personal connections among students and teachers (and don’t try to tell me the tone of a school doesn’t affect kids).
And of course it would provide a respite from the curriculum necessitated by the Regents and NCLB.
Folks from Ossining, I want to know afterward which teachers have the most unusual or unexpected passions.
