[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m considering a career change to teaching and these comments are refreshing. I’ve done multiple searches on this board and I’ve found a lot of complaints from current teachers. I hope my kids get more teachers like those that commented above![/quote]

There are only two pages of responses from people who are most likely in the Pollyanna category.  Don't base your career change on a few who may or may not be truthful.  (or who may not really understand the bigger picture of this mess we call education)[/quote]

DP here and I agree with the above.  The teachers talking about their joy in being with students all day is NOT the norm.  Yes, of course it's true that most teachers do genuinely like kids, but in truth at the end of most any school day, it is much more common to see teachers making remarks like "yea, they're gone!"  and this even comes from teachers who are highly regarded.

So what? I feel that way when I drop my kid off at school. Being around kids is hard, exhausting work. Doesn't mean I don't love being a parent.[/quote]
Exactly. I think most people are excited/happy/relieved at the end of their work day. [/quote]

True. Same as nursing or other “noble professions”. [/quote]
