@Turnesaurus I have heard this stale line as well. I love my job and I am very good at it. I do NOT love being attacked by people who think they know more about teaching than teachers! I see that I would never be able to have a reasonable conversation with you - so have a nice day.
@Turnesaurus But really, go ahead and bash teachers all you want - we are getting used to being the punching bag for everyone. Come and walk in my shoes for a day.
@Turnesaurus Lets not even mention the fact that there is NO TIME during the school day to really plan or grade papers - this is always done after hours (should I count all of those hours up for you?). Much of summer is spent taking classes to keep my license or plan the next school year.
