[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It used to be that teaching was one of the best jobs around — decent pay, good work–life balance, and a fulfilling career with three months of paid vacation. Yet when I talk to current teachers, they don’t seem to feel that way anymore in any of these areas.

What exactly has changed in recent years that turned teaching from a dream job into such a difficult one? Do you think teachers now see students, administrators, and parents as ungrateful?[/quote]

Lack of autonomy in the classroom. 
Lack of discipline and not being able to discipline problem students.
Federal funding addiction creating problem students who destroy classrooms and schools since they won't kick them out.
Political Correctness stifling a creative learning environment.
Mandatory "continuing education" bs during summer vacations.
[b]Summer vacations cut from 3 months to barely 2 now. [/b]
Teacher's unions in many states sucking up their paychecks.

The list goes on. [/quote]

DP. It’s really the one perk we get: an unpaid summer.

I think it’s fair to list the shrinking summer as a change. [/quote]

Is the number of days off shrinking or are they spread throughout the year?[/quote]
