Re: GEN: From the classroom into the library

[Joan Edwards <FoneyJoany@MEDIAONE.NET>]

I am a classroom teacher and have been for twelve years.  I will be starting
my first job in a library this fall.  The experience I've had as a teacher
has given me insight, not only into what teachers do but what kids do and
why they do it.  It doesn't have anything to do with the number of classes
taken or the kinds of classes taken.  Teaching is an art and some people are
born with it whether they pursue teaching as a career or not.  The bottom
line is experience.  If you've never been in a classroom, you don't know
what it is like.  If you have, you do.  I truly believe that having been a
teacher will make me a better librarian.
