[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I simply don't understand these threads about how easy/hard teachers' jobs are. What is this about? I don't see similar threads about other professions.

In any profession, aren't there people who work incredibly hard and others who do the bare minimum. What am I missing?[/quote]

Teachers are very public about wanting raises. [b]That is all.[/b] They are constantly talking about how hard their job is and why they need a raise. I agree it is though, but what I've never understood is why they don't fight for better working conditions. [b]It's always about money rather than improved working conditions.[/b][/quote]

I always said that I didn't want a raise, I wanted a secretary! [/quote]

I am very active in the teachers' union and have worked far, far more for better working conditions than for raises. (One of the main issues that I have worked on directly impacts kids and that is class sizes. In case, you haven't noticed, MoCo classes are [u]huge[/u] this year.) In fact, it was only after our salary steps were frozen for years, that I did any work at all related to financial benefits.[/quote]

In FCPS it is all about the money. Not a strong teacher's union either.[/quote]
