[quote=Anonymous]The best people I know have no children. They have oodles of time and money to commit to helping improve the world. I taught in a title 1 school for years. The only teachers who lasted more than 1-2 years were those without kids because the students were so needy you ended up essentially parenting them. Numerous former students made it out of k-12 education and became positive members of society because of the support and influence of those childless teachers. Once I had my own kid, I had to quit because I didn’t have the bandwidth to parent him and those kids. At the time, I cried at how selfish it felt to focus on one instead of 120. Encourage your children to make the world a better place, whether it’s by raising the next generation of good people, or contributing to the people who are already here. The only wrong choice is to focus only on yourself.[/quote]
