you don't have a clue
Quote From: steelmanof teachers complaining about their lot in life...and I"m also tired of talk show hosts jumping on the 'teachers are great and they're underpaid'...hahaha...not where I come from.
As a working mother, who goes to work 5 days a week, sometimes up to 60 hours a week, has a limited pension plan, takes work home regularly...I recent teachers who this year have 28 professional development days planned...a week off in March, 2 weeks at Christmas, 8 weeks off in the summer and one of the best, if not the best retirement packages.
Give me a break...
That Vice Principal needs to suck it up....so what if some young foolish boys posted garbage about her....she chose that field and can't be so niave to believe that life is wonderful and all parents are great...
let me guess, her dogs name is Toto...hahaha spoken jsut like someone not in the trenches day in and day out! I am sick of people who aren't in there saying we have the best deal. First of all, just because your child puts in an 8-3 day does not mean the teachers are. Where I taught before taking time off for my children, teachers came in before 7, worked all day, through lunch and so called :breaks" either going to meetings or helping students, grading papers, etc and stayed at least until 4:30 or 5 and then went home to do more planning and grading. Then there are meetings, committees we serve on, calls to parents where the parent is often blaming the teacher for their childs actions, and the constant stress of trying to raise other people's children who aren't doing it at home! Dont' sit there and complain about profesional development days that are scheduled to help teachers educate your children! Teachers put in their time and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity! Spend a day in the shoes of your child's teacher and then see what you think.
