Never say you are "just" a teacher. That's like saying Clark Kent is "just" Superman.

Handling Unforeseen Events, by Lou Anne Christian, 2nd grade teacher at Watertown Elementary School

     Every teacher has those expected times- crying child, sick child, irate parent and we learn to handle each situation with grace and intelligence but what do we do when we have those unexpected situations or times? For example, construction, large enrollment after you have your class roll, teachers displaced because enrollment has dropped after school started, etc.?  We still do what we are called to do, we nurture, we make the child feel safe, we love, we teach.

     
     Because no matter how many times we as humans may feel we haven't done enough, that child, that student has looked up to us for guidance, self assurance, and life lessons and they see success thru their eyes.
