[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Career changer here. The difference between most jobs and teaching (at least in high school) is that teaching is like being a manager  and the students are the workers.

A manager is responsible for the output of her workers but she gets to screen the workers before hiring them and if they don't perform, she can fire them and replace them with better workers. A teacher is a manager who doesn't get to screen her w for competence and work ethic and she is told to make do with whatever comes in the door. She is held accountable for their performance and if they don't perform, she is told it's her fault for not being engaging enough and to give them one-on-one help so they'll learn the minimum skills they didn't have to begin with and the job they're supposed to being doing.

It sounds like being a manger in a government agency.  Which I'm pretty sure a number of people on this board can relate to.  That's not a dig, just a comment that this is relatable.

Hey, at least you get new workers every year, and don't have to endure the bad ones endlessly.[/quote]
