People who think that teaching is a dream job have clearly never stepped into a working classroom in their adult life.

Having volunteered for the Junior Achievement program several times, all I can say is, thank god it's only once or twice a year and not full time. I certainly wouldn't be able to do what a teacher does, that's for sure. I'd have trouble keeping kids engaged.
