Dear Patti,
Congratulations on the admirable accomplishment of 33 years in teaching and kudos for your passion to continuing in refining your craft “until you retire or die.” I hope, however, that your eventual out is the retirement path.

We are so pleased that you’ve found your Renaissance-U coursework rewarding and stand by to continue assisting you in your development as we can.

You are so correct in noting the challenges of drawing young people into our noble profession, particularly given recent challenges. I found our “A Teacher Like You” videos uplifting on this front (http://ateacherlikeyou.com/tagged/films). Given the passion of your post, I know your students are fortunate to have a teacher like you!

Sincerely,
Gene Kerns

It is a job I love! It is a job I will attempt to master until I retire or die! I appreciate this article. Our work is so important, yet with the current state of education, I find it hard to encourage bright, young people to enter the field. It worries me.
I so enjoyed your video clips in my Ren-U coursework, Dr. Kerns, and hope I have opportunities to learn more from you.
