Gershon Wolf Poet Ninette

Teaching

Great
      Teaching 
     Requires a
   Desire burning
Not a mere paycheck
   To be earning--
    Not Spurning
        You or
          Me!

          Our 
       Teacher
   Engages Minds
 And Hearts As One
  Bringing together
  All Class Members
     Challenging
       You and 
          Me!

Jan Allison March 24, 2018 at 1:56 PM This should be seen by teacher's all over the world - it is a 'calling' it's a challenging job and can be so so rewarding :-) hugs Jan xx Gershon Wolf March 24, 2018 at 10:13 PM Jah, can I hire you as my promoter?! With your talent and a little luck, perhaps more teachers would teach for the love of students, of helping and serving, and of leaving the world a little more humane than we enter it. Perhaps I'm dreaming...Many thanks for your kind words and praise. As always, :) Gershon

Caren Krutsinger March 21, 2018 at 3:57 AM Straight to favorites, not stopping to pass go. Gershon Wolf March 21, 2018 at 10:01 PM Alright! Very glad you feel this way and expressed it to me...I kind of like these too. Blessings, fellow educator! :) gw

Eve Roper March 20, 2018 at 3:04 PM Love the meaning behind this write.. Children and the willing to teach is so much more important... Gershon Wolf March 20, 2018 at 3:14 PM Thank you for the praise, Eve! And you're so right. Today is no different than the day I started: Teaching is a 'calling,' not a 'profession.' Passionate hearts burn...:) gw
