Teaching is....what? A passion, a lifestyle, a yearning or a calling? Maybe all and more. Every day brings a new thing to learn and another child (or me) learning it. I teach for the 'lightbulb' moment. That moment of realisation when a student and an idea connect.
"Treat all people as you would like to be treated, with kindness and compassion."
'Love is the greatest gift in all the world. Give it wisely and honestly; accept it gratefully and open heartedly.'
Problem

Answer
