" there is always gonna be a classroom full of kids who need you"

"point is, you're a teacher...that's what you do best. anywhere you go in life there is always gonna be a classroom full of kids who need you...promise you that. "

From the movie, Tenure..
I really empathized a lot with the main character in that movie. He didn't have a secure position, and a university wouldn't offer him tenure, but he loved what he did. His students loved him and he made a difference in their lives.

I am in sort of the same position ~ I am not a college professor seeking tenure, but I'm a teacher seeking a teaching position. I do a lot of long term substitute teaching. I connect with students, impact their lives, they connect with me and love me as their teacher. Like the quote says, I'm a teacher, and there will always be kids who need me. That's the important thing ~ that i'm affecting students' lives for the better.

Grade 6

So I'm teaching Grade 6 right now in E.Hartford. I mostly like it, minus a few exceptions...
But one student told me, "Miss Brown, you're the smartest teacher." I said, "why do you say that?" He said, "Because you LISTEN to us." Another student chimed in and agreed. Wow. that was encouragement.

Good class. 26 students!

really nothing to say. cept that i will pray every day that i will survive the next 6 weeks.
