It's amazing how many folks who don't actually know any teachers, think they know all about their days.
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN!!! Yeah, it does amaze me how "much" some seem to "know" about ALL teachers. There are a lot of us who DO care and who DO do a good job. There are some who don't and it's the negative that gets focused upon. It's gotten easier to just pass the blame for a lot of things on teachers, but there are multiple factors for things. Nonetheless, you just keep going and doing your job. To me, it's what my little students and parents say that matter the most, not the doom and gloom and negativists who puport to know all about me.
