Love of Teaching

Re “A Teacher Falls in Love, Over and Over,” Voices, June 18: Thank you, Linda Kovaric, for your wonderful article. I too teach middle school history and I share all your feelings. I too laugh out loud every day -- adolescents are crazy, fun, outrageous and easy to amaze. (These are compliments, kids!) Of course, some are annoying and unreachable for a variety of reasons, but the majority keep me coming back every year. And I’m ahead of you, Linda -- I started in 1965!
