I am Jennifer Swift, a seventh- and eighth-grade teacher at The Paideia School in Atlanta, Ga. I am in my sixteenth year of teaching at Paideia, after attending it for thirteen years myself. My daughter has now attended Paideia for seven years and is being taught by two of my closest friends, Martha & Brian. It's an understatement to say that Paideia has been a huge influence in my life. Here is a link to my blog, where I'm tracking my progress for our Pi 2.0 class: http://www.piswiftyspeaks.blogspot.com/

__Three Hysterical Things I've Heard Said in My Classroom (Please feel free to add your own!):__

"Look! If I put the headphones up my nose, you can hear the music out of my mouth!"

"I just read my story again, and it's AMAZING! I never realized how wonderful it is to be a narcissist!"

"You know, I realized that if I pay attention in class, I actually understand!"

“My mom doesn’t always say what I mean.” (said by an 11th grade girl to Paul Hayward)

"Every Math we've learned, we've also learned to un-Math" (added by Jack)

Here are some pictures of my daughter, whose eleventh birthday is this week, and a "newspaper article" I wrote about her:
