Top Ten Reasons to Love Teaching

• The children are fantastic.
• Teaching requires continual learning - in so many subject areas.
• If I'm ever on Jeopardy, my broad knowledge base might pay off.
• The challenge is never-ending; if I wanted an easy job, teaching wouldn't be it.
• The variety never ends.
• I can dress in my team colors on casual Friday.
• I have a good excuse to buy and read young adult literature.
• I work with some amazing, caring, intelligent professionals.
• Teaching is a great creative outlet.
• A classroom sure beats a cubicle.

Please notice - the ubiquitous "summer off" didn't even make the list. It is not a valid reason to become a teacher.
