[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The drawback is that when you teach in a school, you know ALLLLL the crap.  When my kids started school, I knew that I could never work at the same school my kids' attended.  I have been in the profession long enough to know that schools everywhere are really, really screwed up (private, public, charter, all of them) and I needed to be able to be in a certain amount of denial and NOT know the specifics.  Otherwise it would drive me crazy.  [/quote]

Examples? [/quote]

Sure.  I didn't want to know about:
1) The specifics on the copious amount of over testing at a specific school
2) The behavior issues of classmates that disrupt learning
3) All the stupid paperwork and meetings that the teachers have to do that means they have less time to actually work with children
4) The weaknesses of staff.  Listen, I have my own weaknesses as a teacher.  We all have them.  But I don't want to know specifics on each staff member's weaknesses.  Better to just enjoy all the good stuff and put my head in the sand more or less.
