There are long-livers, strongmen, experts, just lucky ones and other record holders in the world. But those people who do their job not for glory, but by calling, deserve special respect.
As the new school year approaches, it will be interesting to find out who is considered the oldest teacher in the world.
In this sense, teachers of planet Earth should take their cues from Jeffrey Schneider, a teacher and priest from Sydney.
His record was officially registered 12 years ago, when the man turned 99 years old.
He was recognized as the oldest teacher, but even after that he continued to work in the education system for another 2 years.
As a result, his official length of service amounted to 74 years!
And even after Mr. Schneider retired from the education system in 2014, at the age of 101 years and 109 days, he continued to work.
The teacher left college, but not his job, only because he found it difficult to travel long distances. He then taught classes remotely.
Jeffrey Schneider explained his decision to continue working by saying that he considers himself “a good teacher” who can still “teach something.”
