[quote=Anonymous]My mom (now retired) is one of the best teachers I have ever known.  I should know, because she was my teacher for most of high school.  She never taught at a public school.  She didn't want to deal with the large classes.  She didn't want to spend her time working on discipline problems (even though she became the school's assistant principal in addition to being a teacher, which meant she was the school's disciplinarian).  She didn't want the curricular limitations of public school.

She inspired many students; she taught the advanced kids AND the kids who struggled equally well.  All of them loved having her and appreciated her respect for their minds.

She never made as much money as public school teachers -- not that they make that much -- but she worked hard until she retired.  Her day started at 7 am and after she came home at about 5 or 5:30 and made dinner for us, she did her paperwork.

She taught and led the summer school.  She was amazing at what she did, even with those very reasons behind her choices.  You'd be blessed to have her teaching your kids.[/quote]
