I've been in plenty of classrooms...on both sides. I know how little "work" teaching is. You stand there and talk. I taught seminars. f you know our material, it's easy.

Now for the rest of your rant...move to a better neighborhood. Get out of the inner city. Why would someone stay there?



Cliches? Or facts? You can't deny they sign 180 day contracts. And with the unions watching...they DON'T work more than that. Teachers literally have a part time job with full time pay. They literally work LESS than half the year! Who works half the month, or a week on, a week off, with full time pay? They get outrageous time off and great benefits. And yet they complain...

Now...the crap that goes on in the classroom? That's a social issue. I'd have the kids removed, or sent to a "suspension" facility. You're there to learn, misbehave and you're out. The kids shouldn't run the schools. When did we lose control of the kids?



Denial. Teaching is lucrative. I would have done it id I'd known what a racket it was earlier. And if I'd had more teachers that seemed worthy of following. We all knew most teachers just show up, talk, give a test, and go home. They weren't anyone to emulate or strive to be like.

The only thing hard about teaching is the behavior of the kids...if they're trouble deal with them. Move to a better neighborhood. Do you think teachers here at the villages schools have it hard?

I'm sorry, I have no pity for teachers. They have a great gig.
Please, Please, Please, if you are available anytime...ANYTIME come spend a day, a half day even and hour with me. I can arrange it. No Problem. Please private message me so you can come back on here and PROVE you are right. Pretty please......
Inner city....how about 2 miles from The Villages. Heck, I'll even pick you up and buy you lunch!
