[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ “Think about the greater good”?!

This ain’t charity. I’m a professional. [/quote]

Seriously. Spoken like a true admin. "Are you doing what's best for kids?"   :roll: [/quote]

I know how this comment must come off to parents, but there is truth in the emotion. Teachers are asked to take on a lot of toxic emotional baggage of students. Sometimes we can manage it. Sometimes we can't. Sometimes I wonder if my 30 minute morning meeting is worth more or extra intervention time for struggling students? We struggle with these things everyday and admin just breathes fire because scores are too low. [/quote]

The thing is every teacher I know LOVES the job and the kids. But the second we say "this should definitely change" or "this is not a good thing about my job. we are told WELL IF YOU JUST LOVED THE KIDS MORE!!!! I can't love them more. And I'm allowed to be dissatisfied with some things even if I love the crap out of those kids.

Also, it is so so infuriating that the general public feels they can tell teachers about their job and how to do it even if they've never done it. This thread is a perfect example. "Be grateful for PD and lunch! Love the kids!" Why do people think they have the authority or standing to do that? This is a profession- just because you once had teachers doesn't mean you have any insight into what it's like to be one. [/quote]

OP,  you came on here looking for advice. PP gave you advice. Others have also given you advice. You keep responding with yeah buts. What do you want? Did you come on here to truly seek advice or are you here to vent? What are you going to do about it?[/quote]

Oh man, it's you again. Why do you think this was OP? Do you realize that more than one person is commenting? Do you understand that generally the OP alerts other that it is them posting?  I really have to question your critical thinking skills. [/quote]
