[quote=Anonymous]I have never, in 40 years of life, ever heard of anyone becoming a teacher because it guaranteed job security or because it offered good benefits or because you got summers off (I still haven’t met a teacher who had a free summer or break with nothing to do).  I can’t speak for anyone else, but I went into teaching because I loved the subject I taught.  Others I know have gone into teaching because they genuinely LOVED the act of teaching, of seeing that moment when a kid “gets it”.  I have to admit, that is a real rush and a hugely rewarding experience.  Others really love kids and relish the opportunity to help them grow.  And the work that it takes to be a good teacher takes ALOT of time.  I have much more free time now than I ever had as a teacher, including summers.  I almost never take my work home with me now.

But, to hear the loud group of people who appear to hate teachers, you would never guess that 95% of teachers are good teachers.  No, they insist on focusing on the 5%, who lacked the drive and dedication to be one of the 95%.   What other occupation is judged based on its bottom 5%?[/quote]
