Kudos to you Alan.

Your beginning post brought a tear to my eye. I have only taught a few community college classes, but when you connect with a student or a group of students, it's impossible to describe. People don't teach for the money, prestiege or the easy work - none of those exist. It's thankless, gruelling and the restrictions from above almost kill you, but when you connect - it's all worthwhile. Thanks for all of your stories.
