[quote=Anonymous]People have a lot of misconceptions about teachers. I don't think it's s cushy job. The turnover rate for new teachers is extremely high with something like half leaving the profession within three to five years. That screams lousy job to me. From what I can tell the only ones who hang in there really do it because their heart is in it and because they really want to make a difference in the lives of kids. My niece will be graduating from medical school this year because one high school chemistry teacher ignited a spark in her for a love of science and showed her she could be good at this "science stuff". She really connected with her and boosted her confidence. This was a kid who didn't even want to go to school most days. And she still talks fondly about that teacher. I'm sure my niece doesn't ever think the teacher who literally changed the course of her life is "over-paid." [/quote]
