Welcome, everyone, to my brand new blog, The Best Thing About Teaching. The inspiration for this site came from an off-hand comment I made to a colleague a long time ago as we were walking back from lunch. It was the last day of school before a break. I said to him, "You know what's the best thing about teaching?"
"What's that?" he replied.
"Not teaching."
As we laughed at my unprofessional, blasphemous, and totally true statement, it inspired me to think. What is it that keeps millions employed as teachers? What is it that causes people in education to become so fed up that they leave to do other things? What prevents college students from choosing education? Is it all about the money?
