[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually love other people’s kids

Every single class is its own distinct little society. What works for one won’t in another. The dynamic of the kids can make or break the class.

Curious by what you mean by this.  Are you saying that the content itself doesn't really affect how you feel about the job, that it's more enjoying the kids?[/quote]

No. The process of learning how to think for yourself, how to seek answers and follow curiosity, relate to other people and manage coworking relationships, to have tough but productive discussions, to see other’s viewpoints and develop your own beliefs and values, ALL of those things are what is really important for kids in school. The content is maybe the vehicle to make that happen but whatever book we read or whatever set of problems we do are entirely beside the point. [/quote]

And this is why people don't know anything...[/quote]
