[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, if the only job I had was to teach the job would be easy. After 15 years, I know how and what to teach my kids and do it very well. But let's add grading, formative assessments, recording those scores into 2 or 3 additional formats for admin to analyze, prepping for at least 1 (but probably 2) completely pointless meetings a week (during which I can visibly see my first year teammates'  blood pressure rising due to stress) and about a million other responsibilities that have nothing to do with teaching. I am fortunate to have an easy class this year ( only 25 kinsergarteners, only 1 iep, only 4 esol, no additional support) so at this point I can take it all in stride. But those of you who think this is an easy, family friendly job...hold on to that dream. I love my job, but don't go into it blind to what it really is.[/quote]

I don't recall a single person in this thread saying we thought the job was easy. Family friendly? More than some, for sure. [/quote]
