I remember it like it was yesterday. I didn’t know why I wanted to teach so bad. I didn’t know what made me want to learn all I could about the industry and stay ahead of the curve as best I could within the constraints of the classroom… but I learned that day. I sat there with one of my assistant principals and a county level employee and in no uncertain terms told the county IT person that I didn’t care about what made him comfortable (the discussion was my students needing the ability to use their personal google accounts on campus… more on that in a later article.); my only concern was making sure my students were comfortable when they got to the next level of their career. The reason I taught and I do what I do is to better prepare students for the next step in their career and make sure they are comfortable with what they are going to face.
