As an aspiring teacher, I'm amazed at how discouraging the world can be for those of us out there that want to teach. Despite the low pay, despite the dangerous schools, despite difficult parents, we plan on teaching, and yet, more deterrents are thrown our way every day.

I can totally understand requiring education courses of people who want to be teachers; I am in full support of that. I actually enjoy my education courses for the most part because they usually provide me with information ...

I'm reading Hard Times by Charles Dickens. I am really enjoying it, but I know that I would enjoy it more if I weren't required to submit answers to 20 questions every two days about it.
