I could just stay in school. I'd still have two months off and still have all that. The determination to be a teacher was nothing more than a default position to the point of least resistance.
Frankly, a lot of my friends who became teachers had no aptitude to do it—it was just to stay in school— so when you mentioned sending teachers, the educators, out on mandatory apprentices, that hit a chord with me. Getting out in the real world and understanding what's happening in the real world, in the private world, is something that I have thought for a long time is necessary to educate people who become our teachers.
I know I've taken up a lot of time with my talking here, but Chair, could you can offer me some latitude to have Mr. MacDonald respond to that comment?
