From A School Principal's speech at a graduation...He said "Doctor wants his child to become a doctor...
Engineer wants his child to become engineer...
Businessman wants his ward to become CEO...
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE"... Very sad but that's the truth!
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?"
To stress his point he said to another guest;
"You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?"
Teacher 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 winner.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make them sit for 5 min. 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 apologize and mean it.
I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn't everything.
I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.
I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about 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, with me knowing money isn't everything, 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 IN ALL YOUR LIVES,EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO BECOME CEO's ,AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS...
What do you make Mr. CEO??
His jaw dropped; he went silent.
Engineer wants his child to become engineer...
Businessman wants his ward to become CEO...
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE"... Very sad but that's the truth!
