[quote=Anonymous]16:38 Are you aware that both the federal government and many state governments are pushing private and private charter schools instead of public schools because of failing students? Are you aware that your fellow teachers have been complaining about too much required testing and observation notetaking in their profession? Are you aware that they feel there are too many requirements in teaching for the pay they receive and the time they have to teach children? Are you aware of the fight they've put up against testing saying they shouldn't be graded on how much a student improves or is capable of but mostly on their ability to teach? All of these arguments have good points but what they also point to is the fact that teachers alone cannot ensure that all children will be educated and be ready for the workforce with just a teacher's help. There needs to also be outside support. It makes no sense to both fight parents and state regulations at the same time. Why not work with parents to be on your side and help you out? Especially if as you say you can do most of your observations in class and don't need to grade homework.

Right now your arguments are similar to WOHM's who both say they want more flexibility in their jobs for childcare needs but yet both want higher salaries and pretend they can take care of everything with ease. [/quote]
