My late father spent about 30 years in the teaching profession, with about 25 years in a kindergarten, the last 20 or so in his own private kindergarten and 1st grade. He felt that it was important to teach a child how to learn as early in life as possible, and had plans to change the educational system. Initially, he was going to develop his particular theory, (a mish mash of Piaget and Montessori), and either get his administation certificate, and set the guidelines for other teachers or teach at a college level and teach the other teachers. He settled into a classroom, and never left again. I think he was enamored of the adulation that the parents heaped on him and more than a little heady with being the King of Lilliputt. I think the parents raved about him so much because it was unusual to see a man teaching kindergarten, and he had a master’s degree in early childhood development combined with a lengthy history of selling cars. He was smart, and knew how to sell himself. At the end of his career, he admitted that he had stayed in the classroom because it was easy, compared to the other original goals
