It was so much more productive than arguing over locked thread. It was, right?

the problem with teachers is that they always think their contributions to society are much greater than the actual market value of the contributions.
this is especially true of "older teachers"

My aunt was a teacher. She taught for 36 years in the same small school. I had her for 8th grade and was thoroughly unimpressed.
I still remember her face when I told a Jesse Jackson joke in front of the entire class. Now that was 1988 when Jesse was making one of his long shot runs for the dem nomination. I won't repeat the joke here because it is racist, but it irony was her husband, my uncle, is the one who told it to me.

Really? Let's see, we are counselors, nurses,teachers, parents, social workers, tutors. I think the public gets a good deal.

Oh, Taxi, most parents have allowed the school to parent their little brats.

SS - you are a typical teacher - you want to be persecuted, so you can whine about how persecuted you are. Sheesh!

Nope, when most get finally fed up with the BS, they leave. That leaves those who are too far in to ever get out and those who try very hard to not get caught up in the BS. Or those who, for some reason, still think its an easy job. That part I could never figure out.

Do you grade the kids on the answers they put on their papers or the thoughts they refer to in their heads?? "who's never left home, who's never stuck out"

But it got them a lot of attention, which is what they wanted. Even if it was fairly negative. But you are so right, I didn't have a counseling degree or a nursing degree so no way should I have had to do any of that because it "wasn't my job." The poor schlub that took my job now has to monitor a students insulin. I got out just in time!

No, I post from an iPad and it types faster than I think. But I actually do have an English minor so I am aware of typos, just choose not to fix them.

They made a choice and were willing to live with the consequences. So do we all.

I don't claim to be a nurse, but emptying a child's catheter bag is part of my job description. So is lifting a handicapped child in an appropriate way to transfer him from wheelchair to desk (his muscles would atrophy if he sat in a chair all day).
Teaching is a multi-faceted profession. Emptying catheter bags isn't exactly my favorite part of teaching English, but the district figured we could be trained to do it and did.
Real teachers teach kids, not a subject. You can usually tell the difference when you talk to secondary/college teachers.

Really? Let's see, we are counselors, nurses,teachers, parents, social workers, tutors. I think the public gets a good deal. You mean we can fire all the "other" personnel in the school? Admin, principals, counselors, etc Seems like they have more admin people than any business i have ever seen Good teachers are worth every penny...the problem most seem to have is the pay for the bad ones, and the tenure problem at some places. Getting a bad teacher out of the system is extremely difficult in some circumstances.....and it shouldnt be

I teach part time and I have dealt with high school seniors being arrested, pregnant, sexually molested/rape, kicked out of their home, classmates killed in auto accidents, suicide and the list goes on
