[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that the most mediocre teachers always whine the loudest that they aren't appreeeeeeeeeciated? I mean, you spend all year ignoring 90% of the class to cater to your favorites, and then cry when parents complain to the principal about what an ineffective idiot you are. Go work at Target.[/quote]

I don't know any teachers like this. We cannot ignore anyone in our class. We have data meetings every single week with our admin. Each student has to make at least one year's growth no matter where they started. If they aren't on track for this a few weeks in a row, we have to have MORE meetings about them. We work our tails off. If there are teachers slacking like this, blame their admin for not doing their jobs.[/quote]

Are you a new teacher? I’ve taught for twenty years in various types of schools throughout the country.  I’ve had lots of mediocre teachers as colleagues and some awful ones.  They do ignore some students.  This is not uncommon.[/quote]

I’m a teacher with similar experience. Unfortunately, I agree with you. I’ve worked with some dreadful teachers, and that makes me angry.

Unfortunately, i think it’s going to get worse. Good teachers are quitting because doing this job WELL takes too much long-term sacrifice. Doing it poorly isn’t hard at all. So good teachers burn out, and bad teachers collect easy paychecks.
