I'm Not Scared

I came across this short video on Facebook today (What Lots of Teachers Think but are Scared to Say) and was intrigued by it.  I wish that all parents understood the incredible time, effort, and passion that I and other teachers put toward educating their children.  Teaching energizes me and feeds my soul, but it is demoralizing to be demonized by politicians and individuals who see us as "lazy" and/or "overpaid".  Spend a day in my shoes.  I am worth far more than I am paid.
