Re: Asking for opinions and then getting mad
A ride on a gravy train can get really messy from time to time.
Especially if the road ain't paved. But I'm not mad. At least, Not in the sense referred to here.

Re: Asking for opinions and then getting mad
I have a couple of kids that are ex teachers and coaches. It's my experience that parents need to participate before kids will engage.
My oldest daughter has a masters degree, and my son in law is a coach. They both quit and went into another field because of lack of discipline and the inability to discipline. I'm not sure if I'm blaming the parents or the bureaucrats.

Re: Asking for opinions and then getting mad
Both. It's very true too many parents leave "all" the teaching (and more) to the teachers. I thought having kids was all about "bringing them up", not just having them, clothing, and feeding them. There was a time, not so terribly long ago, when many kids never set foot in a school. I feel like my parents taught me more than my teachers, and that's not saying I didn't have great teachers.

Re: Asking for opinions and then getting mad
My daughter taught 8th grade business technology classes. Some of those kids would go a week at a time without seeing a parent.

Re: Asking for opinions and then getting mad
And they are to grow up with the strong sense of family and unconditional love (that holds us together when everything else fails) that our generation lives by.

Re: Asking for opinions and then getting mad
I agree my wife teaches for the love of it sure ain't the money. Her mother was a teacher also, there is always something giving them the shaft from "higher above" that has no education experience in the name of better education.She gets so aggravated trying just to do her job with things always working against her that has nothing to do with helping the kids learn. She has no ability to correct unruly kids, it not the teachers job to raise your kids that's the parents job. Yet so many parents now are sorry and just don't care. She was reading the other day of a teacher shortage and many are getting out that's done it for years and i said it hope i see the day they can't get anybody to be a teacher. Mean but true, people have to learn sometime.

Re: Asking for opinions and then getting mad
My wife is a teacher and doesn't recieve one dime. She took 4 wonderful students to a George Washington Carver museum in Diamond Missouri yesterday. Would have been 5 kids but, the oldest graduated and is going to college.
Her parent/teacher conference look a bit funny. |
