Hey Ovid,
I’m a career educator, retired after 45 years of service. I approached teaching as a life style choice often working 60 + hours per week. Providing things like Saturday field trips to the local quarry to look for trilobites, or after school guitar club, Lock-ins, leadership weekends, SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) dances, pizza parties, Outdoor Education, Thanksgiving Feasts, Election Night Parties, extended field trips to 9:00 p.m., was just part of the process. I believe when you are a teacher you don’t punch a time clock.
I feel good about my donations of time and money for the betterment of education for children. Not a chance I’m selling my new guitar to buy instruments for kids. I’m wondering if you weren’t projecting a need maybe you have to step up and volunteer. Go for it!
