I'm actually really sick of all those memes saying things like teachers have bigger hearts than anyone else, or teachers hold students' hands, or all you have to do to teach is care more than anyone else in the whole wide world. Teaching is an intellectual pursuit. All of that touchy-feely crap just devalues the profession in the same way that going on about how you should care about how long nurses can put the needs of their bladder on hold devalues theirs. Nobody ever raves
