I've had teachers who loved their job. Ive had teachers who hated their job. Generally speaking, the teachers who didnt seem like they wanted to be there got very little respect or results from their kids. W/e, i'm not trying to be disrespectful. Maybe you only come here to vent, Displaced. Just stating my limited observations and experience. |

In a job-a boss tells adults what to do. Most of the time they do it. Some well, others not. In teaching-I can just let them go on their own. Even with independent work, kids still have the attention span of sperm. I have to be on them all the time. It is exhausting. We can't let kids leave and go to the bathroom. They ask. I know when every kid poops or has a period. Most cannot be trusted to get up, leave and come back without knowing what is happening. I am in charge of 35 people that turn over every 85 minutes. If I take a phone call more than 20 seconds, it can take 3 minutes for them to get attention back to class. We have school procedures that are supposed to be followed. Some adults don't. It makes us hard when we should be unified. |
