No one needs to tell you how complicated teaching has become.
Every day, educators just like you are on the front lines of this country's response to the greatest mix of languages, cultures, differing socio-economic factors, ethnicities and religions we've ever known. Add in the pressure of standardized testing and meeting federal standards, and sometimes it's hard to remember how wonderful it can be to stand in front of a classroom.
