Alright, I'm not a mod, but I think we'd all be best served by challenging and defending the points and not the posters behind them.
You disagree with a certain perspective, thats fine, but that doesnt make the beholder of that perspective an Idiot, just of a different mindset.
As to whether teaching is a 'cushy' job, I would tend to disagree. While I'm certain that some teaching positions are easier than others, like a Gym teacher
, I think thats a cushy job, but then theres all the extra-curricular stuff that goes with it.
I feel reasonably assured that for anyone that cares about their students teaching isnt just a: "show up, spew some BS, shoot the breeze with your happy-go-lucky co-workers and go home" job.
