[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Everyone is overworked. It's the economy 2. Teaching is not that hard a job 3. Everyone is tired[/quote] Your #2 is exactly why this thread continues. My job isn’t hard? Are you kidding? It isn’t even worth writing a minute-by-minute visual of what my work days are like. It isn’t worth telling you about the 3-4 hours each night AND the full weekend days that are spent planning and grading. What’s the point? You see my job as “easy.” My own child’s school just lost its 7th teacher mid-year. My school, where I teach, has lost 5 already mid-year. I had to get a colleague out of her car the other day. She didn’t want to come into the building, and was contemplating quitting on the spot. A teacher I’m very close to revealed last week that he’s out this June. My department is anticipating turning over 1/3 of our 15 teachers because they are all burned out. Sure. Our job is easy. [/quote]
