I couldn't agree more with your first quote! I think as teachers (and parents, if you are one) we want our students to learn how to read and write. We want them to become successful individuals in the world.
ReplyDeleteSandy Escobido, makes me feel important about my job. My job is a profession not a side gig to babysit children. My job or profession rather is to shape a child's life for the better. I could have not said it better myself.
