I'd never been a teacher before, and here I was starting my first day with these eager students. There was a shortage of teachers, and they had been without a math teacher for six months. They were so excited to learn math.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never intended to be a teacher, but once I started teaching, I found that junior high kids are easy to get hooked on, and I stayed for nearly twenty years.
I wanted to be a teacher, but I was a lousy student, one of the slowest readers. It was a tremendous struggle. But I'm lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me.
I never intended to be a teacher. I just like going to school and learning things.
As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.
The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.
The best teachers that I had were always the ones I never wanted to disappoint.
I loved almost everything about being a teacher, but I was an unusual teacher.
I had started teaching because I love brainteasers. At some point, I had taken every standardized test out there - the SATs, the GREs, the GMATs, the MCATs. I just took them for fun.
I've never had the patience of a teacher.
I loved teaching. I used to teach fourth grade.
