[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, and again. Every single post on this forum turns into a teacher bashing post.[/quote]

It’s what this site does best. Posters who haven’t been in the classroom since they were in high school themselves like to tell teachers how easy the job is.  [/quote]

I keep hoping the loudest voices bashing teachers are just a bitter few—people who, somewhere deep down, know they couldn’t do what teachers do. I want to believe that their cruelty is a mask for their own inadequacy.

But the fear lingers: that the vitriol isn’t just fringe noise, but a reflection of something more widespread, more insidious. And that makes the quiet support harder for good teachers to hear, even when it’s there.[/quote]

I’ve hoped that posting a teacher’s perspective will help people understand what goes on behind the scenes… like the fact most teachers work on “days off”, or why papers take a while to grade, or why a teacher can’t stay after for office hours every day.

So often, I’m either told I have it easy, or that I’m lazy, or that I don’t have my students’ interests at heart. The loudest voices want to hurt. They don’t want to work together.
