Excerpt from Why We Teach--Chapter 2
By Jennifer Welborn- 8th grade science teacher, Amherst, MA
I teach because it gives me a purpose. Teaching gives me a really good reason to get up and try my best every day. I may be naïve, but I believe that what I do day in and day out does make a difference. Teachers do change lives forever. And I teach in public school because I still believe in public school. I believe that the purpose of public school, whether it delivers or not, is to give a quality education to all kids who come through the doors. I want to be a part of that lofty mission. The future of our country depends on the ability of public schools to do that.
