I humbly beg to differ. This is precisely the
attitude that keeps media folks and teachers
apart. Some of us may not have "been there" but
we have covered for classes, we have experienced
a broader range of curriculum and we have a
better knowledge of the overall picture of a
school than most teachers do simply because we
deal with all grades rather than focus on one
single one.

I admire and appreciate anyone who can stay in a
small room with the same 26 to 30 kids every day,
day after day. Just because I personally love to
teach but also love a wide variety and cannot
imagine staying with the same group of kids all
year, do NOT mean I don't understand and
empathize with what teachers have to deal with or
that I am an inferior teacher.
