Teaching, especially at the primary and secondary levels, isnt about giving grandiose speeches or playing the Svengali. Its about managing classrooms full of kids at very different places intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically. Its about prepping students for standardized tests when youd rather be fostering their imaginations. Most of all, its about the thousands of small acts of attention, of encouragement and guidance and discipline, by which a teacher transmits his passion for learning to his charges. Standing before a class, you have to portray your bet self- fair, patient, wise- for hours on end. - The Gift of a Great Teacher, Steve Almond
