If you want to read a wonderful, this-is-what-teaching's-all-about story, go no further than Bodfield's story, Bell doesn't end this teacher's day, in this morning's Star. Sarah Clements quit a perfectly good job as executive director of the Tucson Arts District Partnership to put up with all these kids. Lower pay for longer hours. Go figure.
Her mother was a teacher. And it wasn't until she followed her mother's path that a mystery became clear. "I could never understand why my mother would get home and just collapse," she said. "Now I do."
Good thing there's no Sanity Clause in teacher's contracts, or half the great teachers might have to leave the profession.
But then again, I've heard there ain't no such thing as Sanity Clause. Ba-da-Boom! (Thank you Chico Marx, A Night at the Opera.)
