I don't mean to take this lightly. In fact, it's very sad to see this English teacher give up, after one year, and return to his law office where everything is safe, predictable and easy (for him, anyway; he had a highly successful career before he began teaching.)
Truthfully, I know Chris quite well, and I was shocked to hear he was leaving the profession. He was a fantastic teacher and a great person, full of the kind of enthusiasm that is inspiring and contagious. I think he could have made it work. Look, if I had a nickel for every time I wanted to quit in my first year, we'd be living in the Hamptons today.
I'm sure we'll hear great things from him, whether from the courtroom or from the classroom, if he ventures to return someday. I hope he will.
