Teacher SOL
Blog of a Special Education Teacher in Washington, D.C.
This blog deals with the things that attract me in teaching like how teachers should develop passion for the classroom. It is true that the current education system does not support educator's passions, especially with the standardized testing, budget cuts, and race to the top. Like the fifth grade teacher, Derral, I believe that passion comes from both the teacher and the students. In this blog, she has included Facebook, Skpye, email, and National Blogging. She is talking about things that can give a teacher passion in the classroom because they can use these resources in their classroom. The teacher is not just giving tests, they can use these tools to relate to the students to get them interested in learning.

I think your right that currently our educational system doesnt cultivate passionate teachers. I'm sure its hard for teachers who have been in the classroom for years to still feel as excited as the day they first entered, especially with all the laws and regulations they are up against. I must admit though that I am still as excited as can be to start teaching! haha
