[quote=Anonymous]I went to a top university, earned a math degree, was a career switcher early on and became a teacher. I have been teaching over 20 years and make over 100k. I don’t have complaints about the salary or benefits. I liked teaching a lot more 10 years ago.

I wouldn’t encourage anyone to become a teacher now and tell my own children I won’t pay tuition if they decide to major in education. My parents told me not to do it and I should have listened. I like the students and actually teaching. It’s become harder, not easier, with people making decisions about what I can and can’t do and they have little to no classroom experience. As I get older, I also realize how little time I have to ever use a bathroom.

I don’t have behavior issues and the students are usually the only part of my job left that I really enjoy. If you want to attract people to this profession, let them have control over their classes again. Stop mandating excessive tests for data that’s never used. Build in time to use a bathroom and eat lunch. [/quote]
