5. STAY YOUNG
One of the best things about working with young
people is that they keep you young. Children,
whether elementary or secondary school-aged,
have a joy and playfulness about them that is
infectious. They also keep teachers familiar with
popular culture, from current music to TV shows.
It's a great way to never age.

7. IMPACT LIVES
Elementary school kids spend approximately 943
hours in school every year. Thus, it should be no
surprise that students learn most and become
attached to educators they see everyday. With
this position, every teacher has the chance to
make a lasting impact on their pupils, by
recognizing their strengths and helping to
eliminate weakness.
