I believe…

The job of a teacher can be a difficult one, as you are being entrusted to educate other people’s children. Sometimes even, if what you are teaching them does not match up with the beliefs or values of their guardians you are then under pressure because you have been doing your job poorly in the eyes of the guardian. As an educator you must strive to do the best of your ability and to build your own collection of what is important for you, and to model those ideals in your day-to-day life.
