In primary and high school I saw teachers who were interested in self-promotion and self-interest. Primary school was okay, I guess. But the teachers were all about trying to dominate the students with veiled threats. Being caught walking into a classroom to put away books during lunch would have the teacher doing more than just lecture you. They would threaten to kill you or anything that would lead to them implying that they would fight you.
Teachers work 50 hours a week. 30 in the classroom, 20 after school. Yet, they feel that they are owed more than people who work those types of hours in other industries. I had to work 56 hours in one week to get the type of pay that teachers get in 30 hours of teaching.
I don't know any teachers who feel they are owed something, Unsubrocky. The general theme in discussions with teachers - in school and out - is about helping kids.
It's a good income. All the teachers I know are happy with it. The thing that moves teachers is seeing kids grow and learn. Teachers aren't selling financial products on commission. The ones who stay after a year are in it to teach.
It's a profession, and an important one. Aquascoot understands this vibe perfectly.
50 hours a week.......snikker snikker
About helping kids.....snicker snicker , snort snort
Profession.....laugh , laugh, snicker
Important one......oh come on, its just too funny.
20 hoursva week at most
About helping themselves
Profession, its a job, nothing more nothing less, professions are for professionals.
Important, only if they did what they were employed to do, which they dont.
This is why so many children have been faiied by this group of self serving non-entities.
Once there were teachers, now there are professional complainers.
