Why do we teach?

There is a saying that those who can't do, teach. I believe that we teach because we have a passion for knowledge and love the daily interactions with people, more specifically kids. The difference between school "work" and "learning" is that work is simply going through the motions of what the instructor may want. While learning is something that the students will build further on their understanding ofand carry with them the rest of their lives. A good teacher shows a passion for teaching, respect for their students, and a true commitment to the profession and the lives of your students.
