I plan on becoming a teacher, but for this reason, I picked a subject matter that I really love. That way, I won't be teaching something I really could care less about, and I can pass on my enthusiasm for the subject onto the students.

There are WAY too many teachers that should have retired long ago, but they stay for the benifits packages(the crotchety I-hate-children ones); then there are those tachers who put 150% in, and don't get recognised.

One of my Tech teachers told me a story, that he had given up his lunch period to help a kid on his wood project. The kid wasn't there, but that was the understanding, Mr. B was going to do a few things for the kid. Well, he's sanding with one hand, and with the other, he's eating his sandwich. He turned to his collegue, who shares a room with him, and said "and they think we get paid to much..."
