You think teaching is easy? Are you insane?! It’s not just hard, it’s IMPOSSIBLE! I’d rather work in a factory for 70 hours a week.

You don’t just stick 30 kids in a room and explain the ABCs, you bear the entire weight of the community and it’s endless problems on your shoulders. Unless the teacher doesn’t care about the kids...then it’s a breeze.

If liberals would stop paying for failure and out of wedlock children and worry more about educating for future success instead of brainwashing liberal ideas, it would be a good start. Liberals love taxpayers almost as much as their modern slaves on welfare who vote them into office. I’m sure teachers deal with a whole host of issues due to family issues, but it’s not going to get better as long as liberal mentality seeps into everything. I’m just sick of greedy, worthless politicians always using teachers, policemen and firemen as the weapons to get communities to go along with higher and higher taxes. If teachers want pity from me, please stop whining every August about how sad it is for you that your summer vacation is soon over and how you have to start 2 days earlier than the kids. Boo Hooo Hooo. Most of the world was working 60 hours a week or more all summer. The whining doesn’t generate sympathy, it just makes me want to pay you less.

I also loved the whining I heard last summer from a teacher who now had to cope with a health plan that required $20 copays for Dr’s visits. Hellooooo, the real world has had copays and employee contributions for premiums for at least a decade.

Don’t take this post as anti teacher, I have many good friends who are teachers. Just stop whining - we all have sucky jobs. Jobs just suck in general. In the real world where you have to make it work on a budget and you can’t just raise taxes on everyone when you want more money and your annual pay increase, it’s not too easy either.
