Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Thank you for the quotation, Magister.

The trouble is so many teachers do not realize their soul is precious and are willing to sell or lose it. Yes, the “precious things” cannot be taken away but they can be sold or taken advantage by the employers who rub their hands with glee and say in their heart: “Good, you are making money for my school – I will see that you make more for me.” So the teachers are made to work harder and harder, take more classes, sometimes at the last minute (mentioned by one poster somewhere), and do many other things all for the purpose of swelling the school’s coffers (of course the money goes into whose pocket you know). Those who do not cooperate will get the boot sooner or later.
