[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm a teacher and recently attended 2 retirement parties for fellow teachers. We started talking and out of appr. 50 teachers and admins in attendance, only 2 or 3 people did not have at least one Master's degree (they were new teachers who had just started working on their Master's degrees). Most of us had 2 Master's degrees and the 2 people retiring had 3 each. I do not know many other professions with such highly educated people. It bothers me how our profession is generally looked down upon. When I lived in Arlington, my DD was eligible for the free preschool program there due to my low income. My friend teaches in NY and her kids are eligible for free lunch there. So yes, we are "poor" but please don't lump us into the same category as others who have not worked our tails off in school for many, many years and continue to do so.

Really enough of "I'm a teacher and I have all of these master's degrees" crap. The master's degress you have are the equivalent of underwater basketweaving or fingerpainting. You do not learn anything important but only more kidding minding strategies. Try learn something useful like applied math, physics, computer science, nursing or anything that will get you a high paying job. I don't care if you teach math, physics, computer science or nursing. Those who can do, those who can't teach. Learn something worth being paid for. [/quote]

Clearly, you were rejected from an M.Ed program. It's ok, not everyone is good enough to be a teacher.[/quote]

No, I knew where the money was and have a PhD in biochemistry.   But then Bill Cosby had a doctorate in education and made some money.[/quote]
