? I started my post with "If the thought of teaching appeals to him..." Isn't that exactly why a teacher should get into teaching - because they think they'd enjoy teaching? If you enjoy teaching, the perks make it the grand slam of careers.

The pension though is out of control, no debate here on that.

There isn't a teacher in the world that puts "hours" of prep into every lecture. That's ridiculous. Also, I'm not talking about being a teacher in Compton. I'm pretty sure no teacher is being f-bombed in my kid's grade four class. She came home last year and told me some kid in her class said the f-word: fart. Plus, there's only one kid in her class with a cell phone and I make her leave it at home.
