[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are teachers who truly love their work - but things are different than when we were kids...

the school schedule was more forgiving

there were no active shooter drills

[b]IEPs are far more common and need attention[/b]

more moms work - there is less unpaid labor helping with making copies or setting up for events

kids are generally more tolerant of each other, but it's also easier to be a bully

attention spans are shorter

there's less respect for authority and less parental involvement

kids don't read as much as they did before

[b]kindergarten is more like first grade[/b], some school districts let kids start a year late, creating a divide in the early grades

it's easy to exploit young teachers who are more likely to leave teaching

and it goes on and on and on [/quote]

the bolded are true everywhere but i am skeptical of the rest. that will all depend heavily on the district and the socioeconomic distribution. districts with mostly rich kids are very different from districts with mostly poor kids, and both are very different from districts with a uniform mixture across the strata.[/quote]
