[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a highly motivated and highly accomplished academic that chose to go into special education.  The truth is, I certainly could find a higher paying job that would also eliminate parents like those of you criticizing teachers right now.  I definitely have many other options, and have done them, but I also know that many of my students need high quality teachers and I find purpose for my life by doing this job.  Of course, my husbands salary pays our main bills.  That said, one of my teens had expressed interest in education and I talked her out of it.  Every year I have to deal with people questioning my intellect, purpose, and drive.  Parents like to  tell me that they are paying my salary when in reality I am also paying their federal government salary. I could tell you how many incredible teachers I have mentored over the years that left for the business sector within a few years and guess what, they are all successful and happy. If you don’t start respecting and appreciating what teachers are doing every day you will find yourself with no one left to listen to your snotty bs and your kid will not have a good school experience.  Oh well, continue on being the self absorbed jerks you are but remember that when your kid turns into the same type of angry person you are, you have only yourself to blame. [/quote]

I think you need to go into a new line of work. Something that doesn't deal with people and doesn't require any grammar skills.

I am not the PP but your comment is gross and full of contempt. I’m a professional editor, and I can’t stand the grammar police on social media sites. Maybe she was typing quickly, or maybe not. Either way, big deal if she missed an apostrophe or a comma or added an extra article. This isn’t her dissertation, and she argues her point convincingly. She doesn’t need a new line of work, she needs so-called adults like you to back off and let her work with kids. She deserves to be treated with respect. I’m worried that my own kids will have no good teachers by high school because anyone with options is going to look for jobs that don”t come with this much judgment and criticism.
