My colleague, Janis, and I are working on a book for new teachers. Our goal is to lower the attrition rate and keep teachers in the profession. Can you please respond to this posting with your brief story as to why you love teaching, or maybe a short anecdotal story of a student you'll never forget. If we use your inspirational story, we would contact you re. permission forms. Thanks so much!
