[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s astonishing to me that teachers are complaining about having to grade essays and provide comments. That’s literally your job. WTH?![/quote]

I’m frustrated that ALL my grading (10-20 hours a week as an AP teacher) has to be done on my OWN time.

If your job meant that you had to work 12-14 hours Saturday AND Sunday in order to get work done, wouldn’t you question it?[/quote]

This has been pretty much every job I've ever had except high school jobs like working at the mall[/quote]

And how much are you paid for your job?[/quote]

Not PP, but I can tell you my jobs haven’t had union protection or tenure. All jobs have upsides and downsides.[/quote]

It’s clear teaching has far more downsides. That’s why so many are quitting and why positions can’t be filled.

Tenure only makes a difference if you last a career. Most teachers don’t, so that’s not the boost you think it is. And union protection didn’t help me when I was a bulled by another teacher, and you can watch the news right now to see how it didn’t help the many teachers treated poorly under just one principal.

If your job had as many downsides as teaching, you would also leave it. My guess is you get paid a lot more and you put up with a lot less.[/quote]

Exactly. My boyfriend works from home, makes three times as much as I do, and he barely does anything. Plus, gets time off whenever he wants. [/quote]
