Synopsis

Teaching is a profession of passion and disillusionment. People go into the profession expecting to shape young minds and educate the future leaders of our society. Many young teachers become frustrated with their chosen profession and leave it to find other careers. The ones that stay struggle with similar issues and have both good days and bad days. Teaching in Circles is a series of stories about a teacher and his thoughts on his profession, stories of the things he struggles with daily, and his eventual decision to remain a teacher.
