[quote=Anonymous]Of course we work for the paycheck, just like any other person in any other profession, including doctors and nurses.
But I agree with the the person who says we are like serfs with education. 
What is happening in teaching is very sad.  We work overtime without pay to implement the curriculum, to teach, do all the extra paperwork, to reach every child, keep a pleasant classroom atmosphere, and then things change overnight as we get harrassed for anything and everything by the new administrator who probaby wants to assign someone specific to our spot. 
So we find another school in the same county which is a "better fit". We adjust to the new environment, we're well liked by all, until the principal changes again and all the wonderful lesson plans and activities that made us an awesome teacher have to be tossed away. Then the new boss insinuates that  if we don't want to be put on PAR, we need to go find a position elsewhere, and that we should not take it personally. Yes, it's not us, because our principal is after our spot, to be filled by someone specific.
So the quest for a new job starts again.
Amid all this, we try to keep in mind that we are  here for the students. We try our best to forget all the insults, and concentrate on teaching.[/quote]
