Why?

After teaching now for 6 years, ticking boxes, changing lesson plans to jump through hoops.  I find myself asking this question: WHY did I become a teacher.  The simple reason is the students.  To have 75 minutes of their time and see what they can do with the framework that I give them.  To see students who possibly don't sit still anywhere else, come into the Technology rooms and spend 75 minutes thinking, developing, creating and evaluating.  Watching them leave knowing that they have learnt at least one thing!
I am using this blog to celebrate the students that I teach.  KS3 to KS4.  Food, Product Design and Graphics. 
To share what they probably won't.  Being a parent myself all I get at the end of the day is a grunt and 'yep did lots today'. 
When in fact they have done many fantastic things in just one day, 7 days a week.........
So it begins :)
