I am a teacher and I love it! If you have to work, you may as well love it right? Nothing brings me more joy than to watch one of my students who is struggling with something and finally understands and I get to celebrate the "Aha!" moment with them. I love introducing them to new ideas. Reading their writing pieces is very exciting as I watch their progress throughout the year.
This link takes you to a PBS documentary of a lesson on prejudice and bigotry. It is an eye opening experience for this teacher's class of third graders.
