These comments all ring true. My favorite one came from a very good
Kindergarten teacher--excellent, in fact. But she stopped me in the
hallway one evening and asked me, Why are you a librarian when you are
so smart you could be anything you wanted to be?" And so on, implying
that I was wasting my talents as a children's librarian. I asked her
sweetly since she was so sweet, "Don't you think the children deserve
the best librarian they could have?"

I left the classroom and have never looked back again! As far as I am
concerned, I still teach all the time only now my classroom is bigger
and has more books. Not only that but i reach many more students this
way. I don't know why you are getting that attitude, but I get comments
all the time about how they would LIKE to have my job and get out of the
classroom. Good luck and don't look back!
