Today I’m working at a school with an ocean view. It’s not right on the water, but you can make out the golden ripples beyond the houses. If the camera lens moved to the left you’d catch a container ship floating by. And a little to the left of that you’d see the giant cranes moving the cargo coming in and out of the port.
I’ve never had a classroom with an ocean view. I’ve had an asphalt playground, the building next door, and an enchanted forest–that’s what the land with the handful of trees was called. (At one point it became an insider-only name because some families objected to the term “enchanted,” but that’s another story.) There was also that one time I had a room that had a view of the downtown skyline. But never an ocean view.
What is or was the view from your office or classroom?
