Answer 1

As a teacher I am often really annoyed to work with teachers who hate teaching.

The fact is that many people choose professions that don't suit themselves.

Also many teachers become burnt out by a system that doesn't support them.

Some people are just bastards.

Some teachers spend all their time with their favourites and don't try and help students that might be struggling. Some students use anger because their is no other way to communicate their needs (often because teachers or the system doesn't listen).

My advice. Everytime a teacher does a good job, let them know. Help them to help you.

PS: I am trying to care about a subject I have to teach, where the students have almost no chance of passing and I was dumped into the course near the end to fix up the head of this schools incompetence. It is very hard to be motivated when you the only way to give these students a chance is for me to work 10-12 hours a day, doing my other work and preparing materials for these students.

Answer 2

It is such a shame that we all end up with the bastards who just don't want to be there. It is a pain in the butt and to top it off we don't end up learning from them anyway.
I have only just finished high school so I am well aware of where you are coming from.

at the moment I am at uni as a pre-service teacher and I can look around at some of the people in my course and wonder why they are there when they have no real passion to be there.

Now that I'm at uni, i can look at the course given to teachers (i am doing K-7) and i realise that by the time that i graduate in 4 years time im still not going to know HOW to teach. by all means ill know the what and the why but not the how... i think that if teachers cant pick up on that aspect they make pretty poor teachers indeed.

sometimes the career choice is just so wrong for the person... it mightn't be that they don't care... but they don't realise and therefore their actions are perceived as non-caring

Answer 3

I'll bet that many teachers started out with really idealistic ideas about how they were going to be great teachers, and how their students would love them and go on to become educated, thoughtful, grateful adults. And then they actually started teaching and learned what it's really like--the overcrowding, the violence, the student apathy and hostility, the beaurocracy, the government interference, the lack of funds, etc. etc. etc. But by that point, all they were qualified to do was teach, so there you go. Many many many people, not just teachers, give in to inertia and just keep on doing what they're doing, even if they don't like it and aren't good at it. I'll bet you have at least one teacher who seems not to care whose eyes would just light up if you approached him or her and said, "I really want to learn this subject, and I really want you to help me, and I want you to know that I appreciate what you're doing and that I'm really glad to be in this class with you."

Answer 4

Its not they don't care. They're under a lot of pressure to compete with other schools, to bring up the property value in the neighborhoods.

That's what those "important" state test are for. It has nothing to do with "your" personal growth

The ones that care are the ones that keep it interesting.

Answer 5

who told you this??? Teachers, Professor, are there to help people learn and help archive goals.

maybe its you that don't wanna learn :(
