The Fruit of Teaching
註釋It's not easy being an elementary school teacher. It can be even harder to remember the fruit of the Spirit when you're an elementary school teacher. Peace? Not in a classroom of twenty-four talkative eleven-year-olds. Self-control? Hard to maintain when Timmy won't sit with all four feet of his chair on the ground. Faith? Well, that's not too hard; there's got to be faith when your career depends on those eleven-year-olds' standardized test scores. Patience? It's not just the students who are tested. Gentleness? Goodness? Kindness? They get tested too. Joy? Maybe on the last day of school. Love? Does loving that it's the last day of school count? But remembering the fruits of the Spirit is exactly what Mark De Young encourages teachers to do, no matter how difficult it might be. The Fruit of Teaching is a humorous and inspiring nine-week study that looks past simply teaching students the academics but also teaching them about the love of our Lord through the fruit of the Spirit. Because when students see their teachers exhibiting the fruit, they just might do the same. And Timmy just might sit still. Mark De Young is the 2010 Intermediate Teacher of the Year for Yuma, Arizona, and develops writing curriculum and classroom game workshops.
