I'M WITH YOU!
I mean, here they go into a profession that for years has been portrayed as sitting around with a bunch of angels eager to learn, aceing test , and just generally behaving in a manner that would surprise anyone who only sees out-of control kids at malls and elsewhere.
Suddenly they are thrust into a situation where the kids behave as though they are still at the mall, out-of-control, a school board that won't support the teachers, low pay, long hours, all things no one knew about.
AND they can't leave, once they start as teachers, everytime they begin thinking about doing something else, someone shows up and threatens them and their familes, forcing them back into the salvery known as education.
Tough, tough life, once it is chosen.
There ought to be a law that obligates society to let them know that it won't be all peaches and cream BEFORE they take that first job in purgatory.
What's that all about?
