However, I vehemently disagree with the majority of the posters in this thread who make sweeping generalizations about teachers. Including (and most insulting to me) their work ethic. I challenge many of you to overcome your own biases. It does nothing to further the discussion and only promotes further antagonism.

When people generalize in these threads, I believe they're talking about the average teachers and the below average teachers. Your post offered great insight and an important reminder that the above average teachers - a group to which your wife clearly belongs - should be acknowledged. Thanks for sharing. The effort your wife is putting into her career sounds much harder than my typical day.
