“Your grudge against the profession is noted...”

Thank you for including me on your list, but I actually do not have a grudge against the teaching profession. For one thing, I am a teacher myself, although I don’t teach at a public school anymore. And I still keep in close contact with several of my former colleagues.

A better word probably would be that I was ‘venting’. As in most other professions, there are those who are consistently hard-working; very competent individuals, and those who, shall we say, really should be doing something else with their life.

The taxpayers (of who most are also parents) deserve to have their tax dollars spent as wisely as possible without compromising the main purpose of school, education.

If you want, you can put me down as someone who is passionate about teaching (if you’ve ever seen the movie ‘Dead Poet’s Society’, this is the kind of mentor many of us strive to emulate), but at the same time respecting the taxpayer.
