[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It used to be that teaching was one of the best jobs around — decent pay, good work–life balance, and a fulfilling career with three months of paid vacation. Yet when I talk to current teachers, they don’t seem to feel that way anymore in any of these areas.

What exactly has changed in recent years that turned teaching from a dream job into such a difficult one? Do you think teachers now see students, administrators, and parents as ungrateful?[/quote]

Easy. They moved sped into and kept the crazies in general ed. Parents can't even take the time to teach their one or two kids how to sit still, be quiet, and learn. How is it that people expect teachers to do that with 25 kids (probably with a knowledge range of 5 grade levels) when they're not even allowed to punish them?

On the other hand, I do blame teachers a lot because they don't open their mouths and complain loudly, or make their union leaders do it for them. I know many parents that would have defended these teachers and their complaints, because we were making these complaints for them while talking to principals and administrators.[/quote]
