Teaching Questions

Is it possible to describe the feeling when a class you teach makes you proud?
Am I of weak character if I cry in front of a class?
I wonder how many teacher's have students say "hello" to them in the yard?
Is it okay to wonder if you've made the right career choice?
Am I the only one who can see inept colleagues?
I often wonder what it would be like to sit in one of my classes as a student.

What do other teachers question?

  2. Please don't let #5 be about your visit to my extra :)

    I often question why people became teachers in the first place, as some don't seem to care if they make a difference or not :(

  4. teaching can be fun to students who love you!
    nothing like a teacher- taught relationship!
    being a Professor since 38 years, I realise how much it means to a teacher!
