Best part of being a teacher.
30 Day Blogging Challenge: Day 4: Best
I'm going to try and do the 30-Day blogging challenge from TeachThought. Day 4: What do you love the most about teaching?
I have always thought that the best part of teaching is when a student comes back to just simply say, "Hi." When students still want you to know what they are up to later in life, you have made a difference. That is the ultimate best thing about teaching. It's never the lessons. Never the tests. Never the projects. It's about the learner and if you cared about them as more than just a student. There has never been a student tell me, "Thanks for helping me on that standardized test."
