Educational
Comment

I feel I am lucky to be a part of the best profession.  I promote my profession to all.  Teaching is one of the very few professions that have such wonderful benefits.  The two benefits I enjoy most: 1) my schedule being the same as my children. 2) Closure – I have a start and stop each school year.  Each year I start completely over and get to redesign, modify, and tweak what I did previously.  Schools are for kids, NOT for teachers.  Policies and procedures should be implemented for the benefit of the student, not the teacher.  Also, Teachers are NOT self-employed – they have a boss.  I would love to expand on this section in an interview.
