[quote=Anonymous]I am a FT teacher, with a young child, and pregnant. I just want to say to any naysayers that as a parent, you want the teacher who is concerned with the home/work balance.  This is the teacher who wants to work to their best ability and not just deliver one lesson to 30 students, but differentiate to your child's needs.  It is a teacher who brings home work because she knows that your child needs to be challenged and she needs to figure out what to do to challenge your gifted child.  It is a teacher who teaches not to have a "job" but because they want your child to grow and develop into a well rounded, respected, contributor to our country.  You should be thanking the poster instead of demeaning them.

I have worked both an office job and a classroom job.  Nothing is harder than teaching.  It is not because of the hours, or lack of adult time, lunch time, bathroom breaks.  It is because every second of their day is spent making sure your child is learning, loved, and taken care of.  Every moment of the day a teacher is juggling 30 tasks and making a billion decisions.  Grading, planning, and creating can not be done during contract hours because they are dedicating their lives to helping your child.[/quote]
