Teaching Quote

"You don't have to be perfect to be excellent." - Mr. B, Sr.

My brother reminded me of this quote that came from an influential educator and person in my life, my dad. After having a rough day where classroom behavior issues were rampant and I felt a little on edge, this quote helped me out.

I am going to have days where I am not a great teacher or even a good teacher. Days where I feel under-prepared or have less tolerance for chaos. I'll make my share of mistakes, big and small, along the way. Despite this, I can still be an excellent teacher.
