WHAT TEACHERS MAKE !!.





The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.

One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education.

He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his

best option in life was to become a teacher?"

He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers:

"Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."



To stress his point he said to another guest; "You're a teacher,

Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?"



Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied,

"You want to know what I make? (She paused for a second, then began...)

"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.

I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents

can't make them sit for 5 mins without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie

rental...

You want to know what I make?" (She paused again and looked at each

and every person at the table.)

I make kids wonder.

I make them question.

I make them criticize.

I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.

I teach them to write and then I make them write.

I make them read, read, read.

I make them show all their work in math.

I make my students from other countries learn everything they need

to know in English while preserving their unique cultural identity.

I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were

given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.

Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)



"Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, I can hold my head

up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant...

You want to know what I make?

I MAKE A DIFFERENCE. What do you make?"







THERE IS MUCH TRUTH IN THIS STATEMENT:

"Teachers make every other profession"
