Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.”
Oscar Wilde
I never thought i would be a teacher. Teaching was considered 'the easy option' and a job 'most suitable for women' as it 'was hardly a job' and 'just good pocket money'. Even as i outgrew that socialisation and began to question it, it remained a scary option. After being so critical of all my teachers it was not very comforting to put myself in that place.I just drifted into teaching, dont know how long i will continue, but its humbling, challenging and frustrating all at the same time.

- Remember you have learnt so much that you are a teacher else you would been in the corporate world doing something not connected to what you studied
thanks for reasserting value in my profession.
and we, on the other hand, constantly have to justify the 'relevance' of what we are doing. and because it is connected to what we studied, accused to using public education to pursue our whims and private interests!
