There’s no amount of money (even $200,000 a year) that you could offer to me to teach in any urban zone of the US. I’d lose my patience with students and other teachers.

JMHO...In many environments, it's become impossible to not lose it. There's just too much that teachers are forced to tolerate. That makes even the most talented teachers have to compromise maximizing academic standards. I taught, classroom, then tutoring/test prep, then urban substituting for a total of 46 years.

Now, I wouldn't touch it. There's just too much that can go very wrong, and the teacher will be put in an impossible situation or in a situation where they just "lose it".

That being said, this looks like one real unhappy woman. I'm wondering about what led up to this over-reaction.
