[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I very rarely had subs growing up in New England. Especially in HS where work was harder and grades counted more. Were teachers just more motivated and conscientious about keeping their travel to school vacations and summers?

I can’t imagine getting a couple extra days off (Nov 1,2,4) and thinking “ok I’m going to take advantage of this to take a random week-long vacation - screw the students!!!” To the poster who wanted to visit her mother, she has plenty of long weekends, Thanksgiving, 2 weeks at Christmas, 1 week in the spring, and ALL SUMMER to visit her. I mean come the F on.[/quote]

[b]I think teachers were more respected when you were growing up. [/b]Teachers then were able to truly teach and not do all the ridiculous amount of extras or emailing parents around the clock. Clearly you are not a teacher so F off! it's a lot of extras and where are the raises???. Interestingly enough your post demonstrates my point about a lack of respect for teachers nicely.[/quote]

This.  I've seen some of the emails my SIL receives as a teacher from parents.  They're absolutely ridiculous.

Parents respected teachers more back then as well.  There's NO way my mom would have ever allowed me to not do my homework and then sent a note the next day that basically said she deemed the assigned work unimportant and chose to let me do other things instead.

Also, when I was in school, teachers were able to discipline.  When a kid was acting up in class, the teacher didn't tell everyone to ignore the kid like now.  No, she sent the kid to the principal's office.  Heck, back then even saying "Brandon, this is your warning.  Please stop and pay attention.  The next time you go see the Principal" was enough to get the kid to self-correct.  It's like kids never get sent to the principal these days.  Ignoring bad behavior and trudging forward with the lesson doesn't correct the bad behavior.       [/quote]
