I am now in my 30th year teaching..... ya blessed my heart with your words!! It took me a few years and my own kids taught me more that ever........ kids in general are in trouble as society changes. My philosopy has changed, and now I know "It is not what I teach that is important, it is whom I teach that is important!!" I could go on.... but just wanted you to know "you are apprecitated!"
