My sister in law teaches at a private(non union) elementary/high school in Charlotte. Their daughter is the nurse I was referring to in my previous post.
God bless her. As I said I’ve been to Charlotte, long time ago.
I have a sister-in-law from Reiglewood, NC.
I’m sure there are many other more stressful jobs than teaching. But what caused the stress for teachers (even before china virus) is when they took away the paddles for correction.
The coaches with a paddle kept the boys from getting out of line during class. And the girls sure didn’t want to get embarrased by having to go sit or stand in the corner, or go to Saturday detention school for a few hours...so they behaved.
Teachers were able to teach. Students were not allowed to talk to another student while the teacher was teaching. The few discipline problems which arose each day were dealt with. This is how it still should be in schools, but the world has gotten crazier and slowly losing all common sense.
Don’t they actually have to TEACH to have job related stress?
My older brother & wife live in Matthews, NC right on the SC border.
omg, that is so true!
I’d only add that “those who think they can do” become administrators.
.
Unionized, government employee, 3/4 of a year pubic school teachers have NO idea what work is like in competitive (non-unionized), performance-based, annually reviewed real world workland.
They’ve been stressed by sitting at home doing mostly nothing, with maybe some Zoom classes later on? Oh, my goodness...no wonder our Millennials are so easily stressed out — they had it modeled at school.
As far as I am aware, every private school in SC (my daughter’s included) went back Face to Face in August. They stayed that way until May.
