Teaching is more than a job--it's a responsibility, one of the greatest responsibilities in civilized society.

A nice primer on teaching. Side note: I'm surprised the author attributed the usage of the generally plural possessive pronoun"their" as some sort of response to feminism's encroachment on the old de facto standard of "he" standing in to represent any singular person. The reality is English grew up using "they" and "their" to talk about an anonymous "he" or "she". ( )
