I taught elementary until my first child was born. I loved teaching the
young ones. They were so eager to learn, and they adored their
beautiful, young teacher! Oh, BTW, I was 22 when I started teaching.
One thing I learned was that the younger the child, the more they seem
to learn and absorb, so it's a great responsibility to teach the primary
pupils.
