True enough.. but teachers are important to the foundation of our society.  If we can't find enough teachers, who will teach the children and the next generation?

My kids are 11 and 14. I'm hoping sh1t doesn't hit the fan until my kids are out of public school.  I know, purely selfish, but there it is.

FWIW, I admire, respect and am thankful for the teachers. Except for maybe two teachers in all the years combined, so far, all of my kids' teachers have been pretty good, some better than others.  When a 14  yr old DS says he really likes his xyz teacher, that makes me pay attention.  I asked him what he liked about the teacher, and he said she was just a really good teacher, knows how to teach, makes it interesting, and has a good sense of humor. Some of their teachers did have different professions (in STEM) before becoming teachers, but then decided to teach.  You can tell they are passionate about it. I don't know how they feel about upper management, but I do know they are passionate about teaching, and I'm thankful for that.

To teachers - many of us in the private sector also hate upper management. So, in that regard, we know how you feel.  Hang in there. FWIW, my kids (and parents) really appreciate you.  I've had my 11 yr old say to me, "I love my xyz teacher". You do make a difference.[/quote]
