I have a lot of respect for school teachers, but I’m glad I’m not one of them.
Last night we went to parent-teacher conferences for our high school freshman. Each teacher must have about 150 students. As class sizes grow and student needs increase, the teacher’s job gets harder. It seems to me that teachers must see a lot of individual needs that they can only respond to in collective ways. It must be frustrating.
But, I suppose the opportunities to make a difference in people’s lives during formative years must be pretty fulfilling—if you’re built for that kind of work.

I agree! It really takes a special someone to make it in schools these days.
