These past few days have given me an opportunity to think about Linda Hurt, some of my terrific teacher-friends and the career of that led us on this journey. It is a joy to see young people grow, to see them care about their learning and to witness their development.
Oh there are trials and tribulations to be sure but those moments when we can see the spark, share the mutual feelings of respect and partake of the successes make it so worthwhile.
Those of us, and many of you, have had the distinct firsthand experience(s) of the above and one of the major reasons for it is the trust and confidence placed in us by so very many people. Those of us in this field are keenly aware that without this respect, trust and confidence - of so many - our work would be made all the more difficult.
In fact when these elements exist at all levels, within the education community, great things do happen and that's one of the reasons there is great joy in the profession of teaching.
