[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the teachers on this thread were to be believed, they wouldn't have time to post constantly on DCUM because they'd be too busy grading papers, preparing lesson plans, and and handling their end-of-the-year responsibilities.

Instead, it's the same steady diet of "woe is me" that we've been hearing from the FEA and FCFT types for years.  If only they knew how yawn-inducing it was. [/quote]

If it makes you happy, I’ve been working since 6:30am this morning. I probably won’t finish prepping for next week until it’s time for me to make dinner.

Yes, I take breaks between papers to clear my brain a bit. Is that okay with you? I mean, it is my day “off”.

Plus, I’m interested in this conversation. I’m fascinated by the blatant falsehoods thrown out by some posters on this thread. I can’t comment from my classroom on a real workday, but I have the freedom now as I work from home.

I’m curious: how do you benefit from ridiculing and insulting teachers online? What’s your end goal?

It would be nice if some teachers here focused more on their students and academics and less on constantly airing their grievances. You often seem more like petulant children than functioning adults. [/quote]

If your child went to my school, I guarantee that I am the teacher you want for your child. I’m thorough, well-planned, responsive, and my lessons are successful.

My success in the classroom comes at a huge cost: my time with my family and my well-being. This is not an exaggeration.

What you claim as “grievances” is nothing more than multiple teachers trying to clearly and calmly express to you why we are quitting. We can’t keep up this level of work anymore. We are burning out for all the reasons (“complaints,” to some) listed above.

You can help by being supportive. That may look like not throwing rude comments around on DCUM. You don’t know our jobs, so it’s rather ignorant to comment on them. As it stands, you are doing nothing more than adding fuel to the fire. I’m respectful enough not to do that to you. I don’t go to non-teacher threads and bash people.[/quote]

This wasn’t a thread for teachers, so stop being disingenuous. This is yet another thread started by teachers intended to convince other taxpayers to pay higher taxes and fork over even more money to a bloated, inefficient school system. No thanks. [/quote]
