One other option that Mathew can use is XMLCUtil.findFirstText(Node) to get 
the first text child of a node whether it be the first child or 
deeper.  This also allows one to avoid breaking things even if the designer 
adds extra tags like <b>.  However, it still isn't quite as good as using 
setTextTeacherName(String) which allows you to validate things at compile 
time, rather than waiting for a runtime error if it doesn't exist.
