Maybe because the rest of us are too busy looking after our kids (and theirs).Mr. Hasekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894155770602825594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231702614327665045.post-6051682191710934862013-01-23T04:00:57.103-08:002013-01-23T04:00:57.103-08:00I am a teacher, and I work for every penny the I g...I am a teacher, and I work for every penny the I get. In previous years I've spent thousands of dollars setting up my class. Not anymore. I'd rather save it for my daughter's education. Maybe use it to pay for the many after school programs I'll be putting her in, whether there are extracurriculars or not. For the most part I feel the teacher bashIng is coming from lazy self-serving pseudo parents. I can't call them parents, because these people expect everybody else to care for their brats. Even worse, when the bad behavior starts these people spend even less time with their offspring, and can't understand why somebody might not feel like VOLUNTEERING to take them off their hands for awhile. WTF?!? If I had a rude self-absorbed kid that you VOLUNTEERED to take every week for an hour, and you told me you couldn't VOLUNTEER to do it anymore, I would say THANK YOU. I certainly wouldn't turn around and all you LAZY, or OVERPAID! The behavior of the public is to be expected. We teach their children every day. Though most students are wonderful, more and more of them show this behavior. It's amazing in those parent-teacher interviews when you see how connected these things are.Mr. Hasekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894155770602825594noreply@blogger.com
