Oh this I agree with. I've heard the horror stories. But thats exactly it! That proves my point. If teaching is such a terrible job, then why are there almost no free vacancies? My one friend who works in one of the poorest districts in Edmonton is ridiculously grateful.
Yup. I know one who has been working for 5-6 years and she's already making 67 grand a year with zero education.
K here we go....
PFFT. Nice try. Your second degree can be completely useless (most are). Go do a 4 year arts, psych or Kinese degree at Mount Royal and you're set. I'm pretty sure most teachers are people who took a stupid degree, realized that half way through and decided to get into teaching.
Whoopty do. I was expected to answer my work phone on my vacation in case #### really hits the fan. There are many professions that are always on call. The Formulators and Logistics people at my old job (feed mill) were on call 24/7, 7 days in a row. Then you would have 7 days of not being on call and then it was your turn again.
Sitting at your kitchen table and writing up a lesson plan is far from something they should be complaining about.
I never said they make too much money? I wouldn't complain if they got small raises. It's this "woe is me" attitude that is a piss-off.
Oh my god you have to write 35 different comments? #### I had no idea. That must be really difficult. Jesus. I get that it's not an easy job but that doesn't make them some sort of untouchable Gods that are exempt from economic troubles. You know who has it worse than the teachers? How about the one janitor that makes half of what the teachers make, has to put up with all of the kids anyways and has to clean up after them? You're acting like teachers are the only ones out there with tough jobs.
If it's so tough then why are there almost not available teaching jobs?
