[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our teachers are always available after school to help kids in middle school and high school. [b]Even an elementary teacher could find some time at the end of the day to help some students. Maybe you should ask for a mentor and see what’s up[/b].[/quote]

Of course I could “find time” and I do. It’s just that time is my unpaid for personal time and I’m resentful of people simply treating it like an expectation. I would bet a great many teachers at your school who do it aren’t happy about it as well. [/quote]

Welcome to being a working adult.

At least you only have to deal with this 10 months out of the year while others deal with it year round.

Teachers are not more out upon than other professions. Most teachers simply don’t understand what being a working professional is actually like because they start out as teachers and don’t work in professional jobs prior to teaching.

I actually think no teacher should be hired straight out of school and all should be required to have a minimum of two years work [b]experience in a professional setting first.[/b]  This would improve the quality of teachers and teaching tremendously since it would allow recent grads the chance to learn some professional work skills prior to coming to the classroom and reducing the learning curve of just being a working adult. This impacts new teachers quite a bit as they have to suddenly be a full time working adult, deal with admin and teachers , and actually manage and teach.  [/quote]

So working in a school is not a professional setting? Wow.[/quote]
