[quote=Anonymous]And the PP sounds like an arrogant defensive dope to me. Professional Educators don't think of their students or their parents as crazy. No my teacher friend, they think of them as people with whom they work and interact as part of their profession. Apparently you believe anyone who may be outside of your cozy little clique is crazy.

But then again this exemplifies a problem with so many teachers today. They can't even begin to describe the people with whom they interact good or bad. They describe people as crazy, insane, outrageous, annoying, helicopters, or PITAs etc.  Those are just insults not descriptions of the things that have upset your precious little fiefdoms.

You know what - you really are not anything special to me until you prove yourselves as such. Some of you are good and an awful lot of you are pure dullards. There are some great teachers who are truly altruistic and no matter how good they are they always strive to make their next lesson perfect. They don't hang out in the teachers lounge, they don't gossip because they don't want to be contaminated by the groupthink of the dullard teachers clique.

If you are a teacher PP, where do you think you fall?  Are one one of the few truly altruistic teachers who burns the midnight oil grading and preparing future lessons or are you a former Teacher's Pet yourself who was mediocre college student who couldn't wait to get back in the classroom were you be the smarty-pants kid again.

Give the choice between being a parent who has lived a life rich with knowledge and experiences and that of a wet behind the ears kid who beats the students out the door at the end of the day.... Well, I admit it coming from you and your limited vocabulary and range of knowledge, I'll take your name for "Crazy" as a compliment.

Go back to school, learn something, expand your vocabulary, stop calling people names, take your school's stated goals seriously, stop gossiping about your students and their families.

Learn to use your words.

You're  probably are not a bad person, but you've probably never stopped to self-examine the real reasons you chose to be a teacher. Do it now - do you want to be one of the greats - because if you do, it takes genuine altruism. At the moment you are acting like a teacher's lounge slug.

The choice is yours. [/quote]
