I have come to the conclusion (so far) that being a teacher is not about what you teach or where you teach. It is all about the learners. Not even you, but how you interact and reach them.
Nothing you do should be to benefit you. Your should always ask yourself "how can I get to the learners? How can I help THEM?"
Even on the days where you just want to murder something you have to put them first.
I love this, because the people who are good teachers are really amazing people. You know you can trust a good teacher in all the other aspects of life.
I guess what I'm saying is if you are a good teacher you are a good person.
That is why you get people who are excellent teachers but have not actually studied education.
A lot like parents, being a teacher is about laying yourself down so the learners can walk over you and don't have to touch the dirty ground.
Judge a person by the way they teach.
