[QUOTE="Ycore Rixle, post: 2241815, member: 675"] Physics - 12th Grade Intro Physical Science - 8th grade 9 years experience I love teaching. One year at the summer day camp at my previous school, I ran D&D games in the computer room at lunchtime for the campers. It was awesome for many reasons. The core group was 14-year olds, one girl and half a dozen boys. They were great, but they were not exactly the social kings and queen of the camp, and some were sensitive about this. However, the computer room was the only air-conditioned room at camp, so the gamers became quite popular quite quickly as lots of people, including, to the delight of the boys, many girls, swamped them with requests to join the game. That was a great summer. At my current school, I often give out spare miniatures as prizes in classroom games. The girls love them (it's an all-girls school). Also, the girls in my homeroom all tell me they are going to buy my two books coming out from WOTC in the fall (Eberron Explorer's Handbook and The Magic of Incarnum). They don't play, and I doubt they'll follow through - but it sure made me feel good to hear it! Twofalls, thanks for the kudos. Honestly, it's a great job and a labor of love. [/QUOTE]
