[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if your DD is interested in becoming a teacher - especially a special education teacher - she CANNOT approach the job thinking "...hey I'll get the Summers off and also get a pension". As the mom of a child who is in special education I want to know that his teachers have a passion for teaching and know how to teach those students who learn differently. Instead of keeping their eyes on their upcoming summer break and pension. [/quote] Why are teachers the only ones expected to go into the field because of "passion?" Are you "passionate" about your job? On a good day, I am, but on a bad day, I do my best and am grateful for my salary and benefits. Lots of people choose their professions based on something other than "passion" but we expect teachers to be in it for altruistic reasons, since we don't pay them enough for rational economic actors to choose the profession.
