"Kids absolutely demand attention. It is really hard to not spend the majority of your day on them and their needs. Books, on the other hand, almost want you to ignore and/or give up on them."
This rings totally true. I'm pretty obsessed with my students... but I can let them go over the summer, or if I took a year off to teach just a few college courses instead of being full time.
And it's worth it. Teaching is awesome. But teaching ... ends.
