Platform Paper
In education, I believe I have
seen it all. I have seen teachers who love what they do and would probably do it
for free. I have seen teachers who, it seems, are punching a time clock and
would not dream of working over forty hours a week. And lastly, I have seen
teachers who undoubtedly must live at the school in which they work because they

duties of citizenship and the things that are essential to a hood human life”
(Adler, 1982). Having disposable children is a belief of some teachers because
