An oxymoron at least, and the way I feel at best, for lack of better words. I believe that a teacher should go above and beyond their "job description" all day, everyday. Reaching out to students and making a difference in one child's life is enough for me to make an "executive decision" to bend the rules? I say this because not just one, but TWO of the (most amazing) teachers that have had the most impact in my life (and decision making) have had to resort to leaving their current positions due to ignorant Zaxs!
I guess my point is, (and agreeing with Randy Pausch) we must take risks. I'm not cocky, but I WILL always have my students' best interests in mind, and if that means carrying through with something that might seem controversial, I will do what I believe in. I've signed up to teach, I'll take the tests, I'm taking on the responsibility, but rest assured, I will not hide in fear. I will not be afraid of learning, at any cost. And neither will my students. :) I love life and I want to learn as much as possible throughout my time and I will only be encouraging the same for my students!
