Publisher Description

In a world where people's lives are continually being reduced to numbers, Born2Teach is a song to the wiggleyness of life. It’s a story about finding one's bliss and following it through the labyrinth of academic disdain for human complexity, and finding that not all business models are based entirely upon the single bottom line of financial profit. As you read, you’ll be reminded of the interconnectedness of life and lives. How, despite the American emphasis on the myth of individualism, we don’t exist in a vacuum. Rather, we’re influenced by family and friends, society and its organizations, and by our loves and losses in helping us find our way to address the elemental questions of what it means to experience life. If you ever had the great good fortune to experience a TEACHER, than you know how life enhancing that can be. And, you recognize how rare an opportunity that is. You see, there is a difference between a teacher and a TEACHER, and this is the story of a TEACHER. Defining the difference is sort of like describing Jazz. As Louis Armstrong said: "Man, if you gotta ask you'll never know." But as you read this book, I think you'll know. Being a teacher, an authentic TEACHER, someone who nurtures new growth like a concerned gardener rather than teaches for the test, requires more than just mastery of some skill set, and in this day and age it has virtually become missionary work. Even more so if the teacher in question is inclined towards authentic humanistic ideals and questions the priorities of the academy by suggesting that the emperor has no clothes. To be taught by a TEACHER who treats you as someone with equal value, who speaks to you as a person to a person, who may have a head start down the road but doesn't tell you what the destination should be, someone who encourages the explored life versus the pre packaged, is a gift to be valued. Born2Teach is a torch song of one man's love for his wife and family, for his students, for TEACHING, and ultimately for all the terrible beauty that life has to offer.
