Can it be?!

I have recently come to the conclusion that I am a cynic in my old age. Maybe it's realism, maybe it's experience, I don't know.

As you may know, I'm in a masters in Education program. The idealism I see posted by classmates amazes me. Yes, teaching is a hard job. I think a lot of people are in for some eye opening when they are in the classroom. Yes, in a perfect world, classrooms would be full of children eager to learn and teachers who are just as eager to teach them. But lets face it, this isn't a perfect world. Yes, a teacher will be teaching a future president, but almost all of us will be teaching the people who change the oil in our car, wait on us in restaurants, and give us manicures. And yes, they WILL have kids in their class that they just don't like. Hopefully our classes will address these issues in the future, otherwise, I will continue to be the black cloud in our class, with a little humor thrown in for good measure.
