re: #105 palomino

Who the hell would want to become a public school teacher now? Not only do you see a shrinking salary (that wasn’t that big to begin with for someone with at least a 4 year college degree.) But now your profession has been demonized by the right. A society that devalues its teachers isn’t really moving in a constructive direction.

Where else can you get your masters degree; work 12 hours a day (yeah they’re always talking about working only 9 months) 6 days a week; deal with kids behavior problems; constantly changing teacher guidelines or testing; and kids parents for a wealthy sum of $49,051 a year!
