bzribee, Thank you for your post, even though it is a bit OT to this thread. I am not a teacher but appreciate all the work that you do.
The Piggs here have been having several discussions on this board in recent weeks/months about public school teacher jobs. The consensus seemed that the vast majority of teachers are incompetent or too worn out to teach their kids and riding on a “gravy train” because they have a “skate job” where they “get off early” and “nice vacations” due to school breaks and also have full benefits with a retirement plan.
This post is not to inflame anyone but just to thank you for enlightening us as to a day in the life of a public school teacher in these “lean budget” times.
You have a great attitude! I hope you will be able to keep it in spite of changes in the educational system beyond your control and not lose your dedication to your students’ progress!
