Look Out For Yourself

As teachers, we have a huge responsibility to provide quality education for our students. It’s part of what makes us teachers. In order to succeed at this, we also need to look after our own financial needs. The idea of a poor teacher who gives everything and lives as a pauper is a very nice image to imagine, but it really stinks in reality.

Teachers willingly give up a part of themselves to their students, but they can not do that at the detriment of their own family, but unfortunately many teachers are asked to do just that. They are asked to forsake their own families and their own children so that others may get a good education. I find it funny when expensive schools that cater to the rich ask their teachers to make these kind of sacrifices. Yeah, right.
