Teaching is a sacred service in my opinion. One gives the best of what they have in order to promote the best in today's youth. Sure there are perks, but most of the time they just attempt to even out the balance of what teachers give. My guess is that this balance of how much the teacher gives to each of their students and take for themselves is the biggest destroyer of teachers out there. this may be a tangent, but bear with me for a moment. the other day, i asked my study group if anyone else was scared to become a teacher. everyone said yes. teaching is scary. i love working with kids. i love that look that they have on their faces when they finally get something. that being said, Why are there so very many horrible teachers out there? it's not for the money, or apparently the personal benefits, so then what? For every Great teacher that someone can name, that same person can usually think of two absolutely useless teachers. if only a third (at best) of teachers love thier work and try hard to get through to students, what happened to the others? (Remember when I said bear with me? Here it comes.) If good teachers throw thier job/homelife balance off, they become poor teachers or poor people, not both.
i don't know, maybe i'm just talking out my butt.
more later.

Ben,
Be sure to comment on the blogs of others in your group. Thanks for keeping up on this assignment and for your involvement during class.
I just read your first & second posts, and when I saw your teacher's comment, thought I would read his profile. What a hoot, the man refers to himself in the third person! Does he have a split personality?
Keep at it, eventually you will finish and then "someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny..."
