Living a teacher's life requires the wearing and juggling of many hats. It demands an addictive passion for inducing in children the boldness necessary to take intellectual risks and academic challenges.
Teaching is an art form.
It mandates ongoing drafting and revising of teaching materials and methods that conform to the individuality of each student. As teachers, we have learned to cope with children on their physical and intellectual levels. Elementary school children need more nurturing. They must be taught the importance of acquiring a good education. They must be taught to accept the responsibility for their own learning.
