I Am a Teacher

I am a teacher.  If I am doing my job well, some days your child will not like me, but he will know that I always love him.  It is my job to find things that interest your child so that he has the desire to learn.  In this way, I am in the business of putting myself out of business.  I can facilitate your child's education, but I cannot force your child to learn.  He has to do this on his own.  My job is to help him find the passion to teach himself.  My job is to show you what your child is capable of.  Sometimes you will think that I am too strict or that I expect too much.  I know that your child can do things you never thought possible if given the chance.  I will not hold your child's hand as he learns, but I will be there to catch him if he falls.  I am a teacher.
