No offense but I get a little tired of this narrative. Do I like working with kids...yes...they are better than adults most of the time.

This idea that you can only be a good or effective teacher if you "love" your students is not accurate. People teach for many reasons and can make working relationships with students without getting personally involved. And teachers very much need to know their content. I can't "love" my way through teaching Algebra if I don't know the content.

I've been teaching for over 20 years and can honestly say I enjoy teaching but I leave work at work. I have my own family to love. I respect my students, work hard for them to be an effective teacher, and then I go home to the actual loves of life. It's called balance and priorities.
