be a teacher…

By September 23, 2008Blog

There’s an expletive at the end of this video clip, but I think you should watch it anyway. It’s an older video, but I had never seen it before.

  • Jane says:

    I am a teacher…so thanks very much for that, I love it

  • Awesome. In a broader sense we are all teachers. Of course some of us are fortunate enough to have had teachers like this, or have them on our team for our kids as parents. My daughter’s fourth grade teacher was amazing, and now he is the prinical of our younger daughter’s elementary school. We are blessed. But let’s all go out and make a difference; be courageous, stand up for the underdog, and live life with passion and honesty and in so doing make a difference. For each other, for our kids and for God.

    I am not a teacher, but I sometimes wish I was one. I know it’s off subject from the post, but I just want you to know I just received a copy of “Churched” and I can’t wait to read it and review it! 🙂 🙂 🙂

    For the first time in my life I think i want to be a teacher!

  • I loved being a teacher, still miss it the end of August/first of September…but watching the mess that DallasISD has gotten themselves into and how teachers and students are the ones that will ultimately pay for it, that is why I don’t miss it further into the year!

    Great video!!!

    I’m a teacher, and let me tell you: it’s not that great. The parents are horrific and are unable to understand why you don’t coddle their baby all the way through high school. The administration creates red tape and extra work for you (making you work harder, not smarter) so that they can feel like they’re doing something. The children, however, are a bright spot…but they’re outweighed by the latter two.
