[quote=Anonymous]+1 This didn’t happen the way OP said or at all.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it okay to be money motivated as a teacher? I'm finding a disconnect at times. I entered later in life and I'm married to a high earner. Some of my co workers are not. 
I brought up the fact that I like to lesson plan at home because I have 2 monitors. This was apparently offensive and there were all these emotional comments made to ease the pain of me stating that fact towards my co workers. This is just a small example.[/quote]

There are times that I regret not pursuing teaching as a career, then I read things like this and I know I could not have survived a work environment where my colleagues get emotional over the fact that I might have two monitors at home.  [/quote]

There are great reasons to avoid teaching. It has a terrible work/life balance, especially during the early years. Disrespect from children and adults is an everyday occurrence.

But colleagues’ jealousy over an $80 monitor? That’s not a thing. I’m guessing the OP is misreading her colleagues.

I’m a teacher and I’m definitely not wealthy. I have two monitors. I’ve never thought of that as a sign of wealth. [/quote][/quote]
