Reitano grades homework assignments every morning until 6am before driving to school. “At the end of the day, yes, teaching is a job. My workday is technically from 8:15-4:15, but I am there long before 8:15. You don’t think about the time you're investing and what you’re going to get out of it. You do it because that’s what you like doing. If the job that day takes 12 hours you work 12 hours. You put in however much it takes to do it the right way.”
