[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are obviously not a teacher. My thought is that super smart people are smart enough not to get into teaching. Teaching involves so much more than book smarts to be successful. Honestly, teachers need support. I'm a teacher and I'm always working!! I work on school things almost every night and year round. It isn't a time management issue, I'm just spread too thin and have a very large number of students. I love the work I do, but there is A LOT to teaching. I wouldn't recommend anyone become a teacher because you really are set up to fail with our current workload and expectations.[/quote]

I feel your post would be taken more seriously without the first sentence. It's defensive and it incites those who just want to fight to then chime in with how you do don't know what it's like to be a.........(fill in profession) and you get way more vacation time yada yada.. I agree with what you wrote about how teachers are pulled too much and working way more hours than people think. [/quote]
