MyGen Profile Generator A lawyer at a dinner table was ranting on his views about teachers. He says the problem with teachers is, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided her best option in life was to become a teacher?" He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach. "I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor," he says. "Be honest. What do you make?" You want to know what I make. I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional medal of honor and an A- feel like a slap in the face. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence. I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be. I make kids wonder, I make them question. I make them criticize. I make them apologize and mean it. I make them write. I make them read, read, read. I make them show all their work in math. And hide it on their final drafts in English. I make them understand that if you got brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you give them the finger. Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true: I make a difference! What about you?
