That said, I have never known a teacher who did it for the money. Teaching comes from the heart. Hats off to ALL teachers!
Thank you. Teaching is more like a 1 person performance which requires audience participation, an audience that doesnt want to be there or participate. It can and does lead to burn out, one reason teachers need more "time out" like the military does when they cycle back home. I tell people who think teaching is easy "Think of trying to get 150 hormonally driven, rebellious, mouthy teenagers to take out the trash... all at the same time".
