What an interesting perspective to read! I quite enjoyed your detailed descriptions of the trials and tribulations of your job. Kind of wish I'd read something like this when I was still in school, so I could appreciate my own teachers more. But of course, back then and without the wisdom & experience of age, I probably would have brushed it off without much thought.

Teachers are truly the unsung heroes of society; without all the good you accomplish everyday in the classroom, the future of our country would lack a solid foundation to sit on. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
