"Like you, I don't understand the need to rip on teaching, as a profession, if you're unhappy with certain teachers out there."
You all haven't seen wintertimes other threads?
She won't be happy until all public schools are shut down because teachers and administrators refuse to report for work.
It seems that until they come up with the perfect curriculum, have the perfect teaching staffs, and have eliminated absolutely all safety risks - then no children or adults should be setting foot on public school property.
Imagine all the kids running around getting into trouble while their parent are forced to leave them home while they work to pay the bills.
And when these kids get into trouble and get hurt - who will be the first folks they blame? That's right - the teachers and administrators who go "on strike."
Wintertime doesn't seem to apply this same standard to her own industry - the medical field.
I think doctors and nurses should refuse to report to work until they eliminate the risk of infection to innocent patients.
Everday perfectly healthy people are catching diseases at medical facilities, and people with minor health problems leave the hospital in a hearse after contracting a staph infection from a "minor" surgery.
Bravo!!!!! Well said.
I had no idea of the history, but it makes perfect sense now. Thanks for the background.
Wonder how Wintertime feels about the teachers who taught her how to read, write, do math and the other skills she needed to become what she is today?
