The society in which we live thrives around the atmosphere of learning to become better. There is a common strive amongst most people to be the very best, to better themselves, and to make a name for themselves. In order to establish a thriving community where competition and equality can be achieved is very difficult. We teach in order to give the people of the community a solid base on which to build themselves upon. With this base of tenants people can become the very best, they can better themselves, and they can make a name for themselves. Once people have their foundation and begin building their tower to make a name for themselves, then they begin to participate in society in a competitive environment. This is done in hopes that each person will help to build a equitable society and improve the society.
What makes for good teaching? Just like we covered in class on Wed, Feb 14, love is an essential part of good teaching. The teacher must first and foremost have a love and desire for the content material in which he is teaching. When a student sees a teachers passion for teaching, that student sees the enthusiasm and gets "infected" with the same enthusiasm. As my 9th grade English teacher Mrs. Clott would say, "ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS."

Good start to your blog. Indeed, love and passion are basics to extraordinary teaching. Without both the rest of what teachers do is of little value.
