And that is the million dollar zing. Why did they become teachers in the first place? If it was to help children, the STFU and teach the children. If you wanted a steady job with no chance of being fired and no performace evals, than STFU and continue what you are doing.

The vast majority of teachers I have met - I do not care if this offends teachers or those related to teachers - are about as dumb as a bunch of rocks. Also extremely bossy and overbearing. They talk to people as if everyone is a child. And get extremely frustrated and upset if people do not follow their instructions, as they are so use to children having to follow their every command.

I thought that was so on the money it was worth re-posting!!

I agree with you 100%—most of the teachers (and administrators!) I worked with were utter morons. I used a history degree to get a teaching certificate, and then only because it was a great job for a single mom, time at school versus at home with my own kids. But, it wasn’t a calling for me, and dealing with kids in gangs was not worth the money I got paid. Instead of whining, I left and got a new job.

See how easy that was?
