Is Teaching Political? Moral? Emotional?

I absolutely believe that it is ALL THREE! 

I think it’s political because, especially today, government is more involved with schools than ever before.  There are laws set by politicians that effect the schools, then principals and teachers who have to implement those laws.  It becomes political within the school as well.  School officials, teachers, and parents will always be fighting for the best interest of the child, but may have different views of what’s best, and can get very political.

I think teaching is moral, probably more than any other profession in the world, because you are shaping children into what they will become in the future.  You have to constantly ask yourself if you are doing what’s right.  And what’s right doesn’t necessarily mean it’s moral!

Teaching is emotional too, because you put all your energy into lots of little human beings.  You want them to live up to their highest potential, and if one doesn’t do well, it can be very emotional.
