To teach or to intern?

We had some interesting discussion in class today...and I want to reiterate one point. Bear the burdin of teaching and all that comes with it, including student confidences, homework assignments (or lack of!), student apathy...bear it only to the point that a school representative needs to become involved, even if that invovlement is just listening to you talk about the concern.

While at times such responsibility makes one feel needed, important, yes, responsible, this responsibility does ulitimately lie with the classroom teacher; thus, the teacher needs to know of issues with which you might be dealing.

Both of you will be wonderful teachers. How do I know this? You care. You want to do more, more for your students, more for your schools.

Thanks for caring!
