Publisher's Synopsis
Teachers are one of the most important professions in the world. They inspire, challenge, and shape our children's thinking and lives. Teachers have to explain various subjects in such a way that will hold students' interest and present that information with passion and clarity. Their responsibility far exceeds just showing up-their opinions, values, and instruction have an enormous impact on our future generations. Sound easy?
