[wiper]

i certainly don't teach for the money or the prestige...any teacher will tell you it's for the summers! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] getting paid to wake up at noon, play poker all day and drink all night makes sept-may worth it...

i will say, however, that when i'm teaching, and i have literally every set of eyes in the room on me, hanging on my every word, because they're interested and learning...that's awesome. awesome.

i teach adhd kids for the most part (with autistic/bi-polar/asperger's kid thrown in), so those moments are few and far between, but i had a couple this week..and they always seem to come off the cuff...whenever i just start talking about cool [censored] i know about the world, stuff that isn't in books, they eat it up.

so yeah, i doubt 'teacher' makes it high on 'prestigious careers' lists, but there are moments where you can literally feel your worth.

then, you go home and drink.
