[quote=Anonymous]I find the description of the stresses of teachers and the low pay somewhat lacking in perspective. Many jobs have bad managers and stresses that sound just like what you are describing. And most of us don't have unions or even close to the protections that teachers are afforded. I'm an employee at will. They can fire me tomorrow, with or without cause and I don't get to appeal. And starting DCPS teachers make more money (and work fewer months and hours) than do may other careers. Read any literature on the subject of work environments across segments and you'll see employees are being asked to work more hours and do more with less. And we're all asked to do inane paperwork and reporting in all walks of life. Teaching is a hard job, no doubt. But some perspective here wouldn't be bad. WTU, you may now savage me because it's against the bible and constitution to dare say these things.[/quote]
