I appreciate all the things that cause the job of teachers to be very hard. But as someone whose wife is a teacher, let me just throw out there the reason the job is really hard is the 'kids' and the 'parents'. It's the people.
Kids who don't want to be taught and the parents (some who care 'too' much and some who 'do not' care)...
- allegory 12y agoThis culture is somewhat prevalent in the UK as well. There is a self destructive portion of society who tend to see education as a negative thing. Hell some of them dont even have a book in their house. I don't get it myself. With respect to the parents who care too much, I'm forever making my kid's teachers' lives hard because the education they receive is very variable and I would noy be fulfilling my job as a parent if I didn't raise it every time :)
- keithpeter 12y agoAs a teacher parents who actually make contact and ask questions are really important. Please infect the other parents!
- allegory 12y agoI've tried but they always seem to have their own agendas, usually the popularity of the child and playground politics rather the education. Slightly depressing. The PTA and governors are even worse annoyingly.
