Such great points. I have been teaching for 10 years and I have tough many different things over the years. I have taught Grades 2 and 3, I have been a Learning Support Teacher, thought English to French Immersion students and now I am teaching middle school students (Gr. 8). It never gets boring when you are doing new things all the time. I have worked with and know a few teachers who have been teaching the exact same thing for what seems like forever. They have been teaching it so long they could do it in their sleep and they have every possible material and supplement you could ever need already prepared. One teacher in particular has their entire year mapped out and nothing ever changes from year to year. I get that this is "easy" but I would be mind numbingly bored if nothing ever changed other than the kids. On top of that, I feel like this is a narrow minded view from those who call themselves educator. The world of education is constantly evolving and we as teacher need to learn and grow with it. If we are so set in our ways and rigid in our teaching then how can we ever become better at our craft and furthermore how can we ever expect our students to be open minded learners.

Great post!!! Thanks for sharing.
