I've become really popular and unpopular at the same time. It
s am honor both ways....
Most of those who complain about teachers aren’t in the education field and know little about learning or child development and behavior, particularly in group settings. Even parents of large families will not have a firm grasp. No. Most of the children they deal with at home will be their own blood. Dealing with 25-30 of someone else’s children is a whole ‘nother thing.
Teachers taking part in the recent “All out for Education” event last May 1 have been called :”union thugs,” ungrateful, anti-child, socialists. Critics could not be more wrong. North Carolina teachers have no unions, devote up to 12-14 hours daily to the benefit of their students and if they seem ungrateful, it is because they ARE unappreciated. Furthermore, public education IS socialist, as are the post office and the military. They exist for the benefit of ALL, not merely a small, affluent minority.
Teaching takes a special kind of a person, one who knows they will be valued less (“those who can’t do, teach!”) , have impossible things demanded of them and know they will never be compensated well enough.
Critics need to walk a mile in teachers’ shoes rather than judging them.
the "Imbuicles" are gonna eat this one up...
