3. "Gave up chalk but not talk" What do you think the author means?
4. What does the word "coaxes" mean?
5. In your opinion, why do teachers "work long hours, not just in class"?
6. Do you agree with the blog post? Why? Why not?
7. Write a similar blog post for students, entitled 'What does a student
