Answer 1

I fine those really funny , Why do so many people take such offense to a little bit of humor? Don't they realize that teacher go in to this field because they enjoy being around kids, I worked at a school as a playground aid and a teachers helper,, In the class room they were very professional,But when that bell rings and the student left ,They are just like the rest of us, I enjoyed them tremendously they were a great bunch of people

Answer 2

My best friend is a teacher....so I have to include the fact that she does 4 weeks of in service during the summer (required in TN) so she doesn't have summers off.

She gets paid to work from 8am to 2:30pm but is required to be there from 6am until sometimes 9pm (PTO, Fall Festival)
And she teaches drama after school and doesn't get paid at all for that but she still has parents who 'forget' to pick up their students until 8pm.

Parents should be held accountable for their children's progress not teachers. Teachers can only teach to the dumbest student in their class and everyone else is pulled down by that child. The parents of students should be required to reinforce the daily lessons. And they should back off the teachers.

Answer 3

I think teachers are the most underpaid and put up with the most C---. Work the longest hours, they have to correct papers, make class plans, do after school activities. And all this is after the school day ends. Yes, after they meet their students parents, they can tell how the students act the way they do. They have to put up with unruly, rude, abusive, drugged up, students on a day to day basis. Play mom & dad, and student counselor (even if there is one on campus)
and disaplinearian all at the same time

Answer 4

call her to a minimum of one ingredient and function a private communicate along with her and say "Eeem im only questioning what ur situation is"? Then exsplain what u reported in this. If she denies it and moans at u saying she's performed no longer something incorrect I suggets u detect a extra appropriate appearing classification. you spot a number of those wanna bes werent that stable at appearing so as that they never have been given picked for movies because of this they somtimes take it out on the scholars so dont blame urself only reason she needs to be infantile. Its the comparable with my song and artwork instructors . only leav ethem there.:))

Answer 5

LOL! Very Funny! I am a retired Educator and I can identify with quite a few of these...although I must admit, I loved working with kids!

Answer 6

tell me about it, my boyfriend has just began teaching, he spends more time doing his homework for tomorrow than his students! and he spends the rest of day complaining about how everyone else in the school is a complete idiot, and he affectionately refers to the students as "little f**kers"

for the person who made the latter post, you're really highly strung, it wasn't even that offensive, it really wasn't, teachers are overworked and underpaid, they've gotta teach, be a peace keeper and disciplinarian, and in some case the therapist to these students, and parents who act like you don't help!

Answer 7

Mom made teaching a career, much of your list was part of her daily tirade --------as I've grown other and look at my fellow man (self included), one can have nothing but respect and admiration for the truly 'devoted' teacher.

Answer 8

Some of those things, yes. If you have never taught, then you have no idea. I love my job, but I spend unreal amount of time before and after school on it as well as weekends.

Answer 9

JM... Very cute...

I have the up most respect for teachers...
Most of them are very dedicated to the kids...

where do you find all these massive quotations...

Answer 10

I've never felt that way.
