Teaching is a joke. These people work 3/4 days, 2/3s of the year yet earn at least 100% of a salary. Not to mention it's got to be one of the only jobs on the planet where you can pretty much map out exactly what you'll make from the age of 21 until the day you die. Yes, teachers always conveniently forget that they will continue to get paid for their easy job for ~30 years after they last teach a class. You know exactly what you're getting into from a salary perspective so STFU once you're in it. I mean you can't honestly think you'll be a millionaire teaching grade 4 for 25 years, nor can you possibly think you'd deserve it.
Schools should all be open year round so we can maximise use of these expensive facilities and for once get our (taxpayers') money's worth out of these over-priced civil servants. Students would be split into two groups, so at any given time one of the two groups would be in class. Teachers start out with two weeks' holidays like the rest of us, and work up to four weeks over a 10-year period.
THAT would be fair.

lol, and Dess hits another one out of the park.
We all went to school so we all have that level of experience so please don't act like you have some special knowledge that the rest of us fail to possess. Those of us that are close to the profession (by virtue of being a teacher or married to a teacher) have significantly more knowledge of what it takes to be one. Because I am in the category that knows more about it than you, I take great pride in saying that you don't know what you're talking about.
Of course there are poor teachers out there that mail it in all the time. Does that mean that "teaching is a joke"? I suppose in your mind it does.
I could ramble on but it's not worth the effort. Feel free to respond but it probably won't matter. Everybody speaks so highly of the "ignore" feature that CP has ... I think I'm finally going to give it a whirl.
