[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find me one profession that its members don't complain about.

Yes, but you don't see any of my friends who are therapists, doctors, finance professionals, lawyers, management consultants, etc. prolifically complaining on social media.

That space is OWNED by teachers.

My feed was recently invaded with teachers bemoaning decorating their classrooms. (UN FOLLOW!)

No other profession goes on social media demanding attention while they decorate their office. [/quote]

Well, you aren’t expected to decorate your office. We are expected to decorate our classrooms. Most of us receive no budget for this, yet we can be counted down on our evaluations if our room is undecorated and uninviting. So I don’t fault teachers for wanting to show their classrooms on social media. A lot of time, effort, and money goes into that. (Oh, and we usually aren’t given work time to do this either, so it’s done over the summer.)

You’re welcome to scroll past that picture of your teacher friend’s classroom. I will show appreciation, but you’re welcome to either ignore or complain about teachers. Nobody is stopping you. [/quote]
