As a substitute teacher you are perhaps operating as a cog in an educational system machine that has not adapted to the needs of those whom it is supposed to serve.

We are born wanting to learn, we are born as thinkers. School aged children are still learning. If they are not learning in the environment in which you are teaching the fault lies not with the children the fault lies not with the children but with you or much more likely with the system in which both you and the students are embedded.

If you have a desire to teach you are a valuable member of a Democratic society.children all over our country are thirsty for knowledge. Often it is the institutions which prevent or are prevented from delivering true education.
