Why I Teach

I remember hearing an old saying back in grade school, “Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach gym.” I remember thinking it actually had a point.

Of course, years later, having been a tutor for the past ten years of my life, I have a few bones to pick. It seems that this society values “doers” much more than “teachers.” It also seems to believe that “gym” or “physical fitness” can’t really be taught.
