Many people think they can get up there and teach 5 sections per day, but it takes a talented and motivated person to do that well, all-the-while keeping order, doing one’s preps and dealing with parents after hours. A few months ago, I taught 5 sections of “citizen journalism” to the 6th grade at a local school, and it was exhausting (and also fun and rewarding). It gave me new-found respect for the work that excellent teachers do.
