Why I Love Teaching

Teaching is an opportunity to give others something that will stay with them as a benefit throughout their lives. This is reason enough to gain satisfaction in this avocation. Additionally, to master a subject it is often best to teach it at a beginning level since this is where the elemental principles in any discipline become obvious. Thus, to teach is a direct way to learn and many students instruct the teacher with their observations and questions. Teaching and learning are two things I would continue doing even if I had no need for income.
