  • Recruiter: What made you decide to go into teaching?

    Brad Cohen: It's all I've ever wanted to do. I feel like I was born to teach.

  • Brad Cohen: Maybe we should talk about the elephant.

    Brad Cohen: Once they understand, they're fine with it. It's never caused any problems in a classroom.
