something to think about...

If a doctor, dentist, or lawyer has 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs and some of whom didn't want to be there and others causing trouble, then the credit he gets is deserving. And if the doctor, dentist, or lawyer, treated all 40 of these individuals, without assistance, for nine whole months, with hardly half of the salary he is used to, these professionals might then have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. -Donald Q.
