Quote

The core role of a teacher is to facilitate learning. It may seem unnecessary to say that, but much of what teachers are expected to do is something other than teaching. A great deal of their time is taken up with administering tests, doing clerical tasks, attending meetings, writing reports, and taking disciplinary action. You may say that these are all part of the job, and they are, but the job they are meant to be part of is helping students to learn. When those other tasks distract from that job, the real character of the teaching profession is obscured.
