[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is teaching really that bad these days or is it just tough teaching in DC? I attended one of the worst high schools in the DC suburbs and I don't ever recall a teacher quitting during the school year. [/quote] I've been working for DCPS for more than 10 years, and every year we are asked to do more. I can only imagine what it's like for a new teacher to come on board and be faced with our to-do list. It must be overwhelming. I'm not sure how I've survived this long.[/quote] It's so disappointing to hear how much teachers dislike their jobs. How can parents help? [/quote] Please visit the thread where parents are arguing that teaching is so easy and teachers are idiots. This is my life. I spent an hour today with a parent who was less concerned with her son's failure to study for an assessment than the fact that I called it a quiz rather than a test. She was very hung up on the idea that there was a test (gasp) in the third week of school and not at all worried that he hadn't done six preparatory assignments. But what do I know? I'm just a teacher.[/quote] Sorry to read this. Unfortunately, most of us have to deal with know-it-alls in the workplace, whether it's a colleague or a "customer". For those parents who want to help, how could we make your job easier? [/quote]
