[quote=Anonymous]An overlooked fact that makes teaching undesirable is the almost complete lack of control over day-to-day reality. Teachers don't choose their students. If you get a tough kid or a tough parent, it's over 180 days of 'deal with it.' Think about the toughest customers, patients, clients in any other business - rarely does a professional spend that much time with them. Now add in lack of control over so many other factors - schedules, curriculum, policies, testing, whether or not a child is eating or sleeping properly, their homelife, the children's IQ, parental health or illness, neglect or overindulgence at home, discipline or lack thereof both at school and at home... Even the school, grade level, and subjects they teach are often at the whim of administrators. Teachers take lots of blame for the 'product' but consideration must be given to how much is simply out of their control. [/quote]
