[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think teachers have a hard and thankless job. I also think some teachers complain more about doing their jobs more than any other profession I’ve encountered. Sol even so it on public Facebook groups with their name and profession visible to all, which is wild. The negativity is contagious and affects morale. It just frustrate the teachers who don’t complain as much to have such whiny colleagues. [/quote]

I’m a teacher and there is a lot to complain about, but it is like chess.

During staff development I pay just enough attention I can ask a pertinent question they clearly didn’t think enough about and then they avoid me for the rest of the time and I avoid them so I get work done.

Then, you go into your classroom, close the door and teach.  So much of it is learning to just do the important stuff.  The problem is that when you are learning to teach, it all sounds so important because every person who is telling you what to do makes it sound like if you don’t, you will horribly hurt THE CHILDREN!!!!  Cutting out the extra is a learned skill.

The people who complain don’t bother me, it is obvious we don’t have enough time to do anything and I commend them for their attempts and maybe one day it will get through. They just haven’t mastered the zen of letting the crap go yet.  [/quote]

Haha. That’s why the majority of teachers leave within five years, because it takes years -if not decades- to master that. [/quote]
