Interesting........

http://www.charlotte.com/556/story/588621.html

This is a article I found talking about the career fair this past weekend for the Charlotte Mecklenburg School sytem. It is interesting to me to see the number of people that turned out looking for a job in the school system. According to the article, the economy in the North taking a turn for the worse as well as CMS's positive reputation, have attracted many people to this area just to teach. It amazes me that over 4,000 people showed up for teaching jobs knowing the low salary and hard work that awaits them. I guess there are more people out there than just us that actually enjoy teaching and don't just do it for the money!

For some reason, it does not surprise me that so many people showed up for that job fair. Charlotte would seem like a place that those coming from the North would like to come in search of a teaching opportunity. You're right though; to do what we do has to be a calling. With the low salaries, tough conditions and everything else going on in public education these days that is wrong, you have to have teaching in your blood to be able to endure all of the obstacles that come with being a teacher.
