"I love to teach. I can't see myself doing anything else. It's the most spectacular job. I love to come get all hugged by the kids and pumped up about life.

Understanding the definition of love. Because, I think that once you have that understanding. You have no problem with misbehavior or anything like that. You then understand respect and honor.

Parents and teachers need to work together to make great students. It's not totally up to the teachers. And its not totally up to the parents to make a great student. But together.

Be consistent with your children. Just being there. Time is very important, quality time.

I've been a teacher for many years, but this is my first year teaching third grade.

I am Aileen Colitti and I teach at Veterans Elementary."
