I once dated a guy who was a school teacher. He slowly became very disillusioned with it. Through him I found out all about what it means to be a teacher esp. in NYC where gangs rule the schools.

I once dated a guy who was a school teacher. He slowly became very disillusioned with it. Through him I found out all about what it means to be a teacher esp. in NYC where gangs rule the schools.

My daughter became disillusioned rather quickly. On her second day of classroom observation, she saw a parent scream at a teacher about how her third grader was an A+ student and that the teacher was an idiot for giving her an A- on a math test. This was in front of several kids. You'd think that A- was keeping the kid from going to college or something.

I could not put up with parents like that, and apparently that is pretty common. Lot of parents think that the rules and things like tests don't apply to their kids. And don't get me started about religious holidays.
