Nobody was "going off" on you. If you are a teacher and that sensitive, I'm amazed you survived that long. As for my brother, he takes the bad stuff because he's a good teacher and knows that a lot of the kids want to do well. It's an urban school and if nobody had the guts to teach those kids, then it would be a sad day for the ones who are poor but have a desire to learn. He does it for them. The few times he's thought about leaving, the kids would beg him that he has to stay and do it for the other kids. He's one of the few "true teachers" out there. He's not a nutcase and he's not burned out either (amazingly).
I'm not sensitive at all . Matter of fact I probably would have smacked you if it was in person. Cut me a break dude ,I only stated a fact. You want a lawsuit, go ahead and tape someone without their knowledge . That's how lawyers make mucho $$$$$$.
As for your brother , God bless him. I paid my dues for 35 years and now enjoy Corona and cigars during the cold winter months while the rest of the ( left wing idiots ) I taught with freeze their a$$es off .
Merry Christmas .
