ahh poor ole teachers don't like to be criticized .

teachers work 7 to 7 ,7 days a week, and house wives clean the house all day.
time to ditch the old school teacher myths.

Unless of course, they are not myths. So far we have teachers, retired teachers and teachers spouses who all claim that the long hours are what the reality of teaching is. What "facts", not dug out of your hind end, do you have to prove that teachers are "part time", and "overpaid."

Perhaps we should look at lazy assed oil company employees who are overpaid, underworked and forcing up the cost of my gas and diesel!

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

Anyone who says that teachers are overpaid needs to go sit in the back
of a Gr. 7 class for an hour. Then think of the teacher who deals with that
fucking hell day-in-day out. The marks possibly hundreds of papers and
assignments each night.

I believe teachers deserve every penny they get... And much more.

One of my favourite teachers, my science teacher, used to stay in the
school, alone, until the last possible second (that being when the alarms
automatically turned on, midnight) marking papers and such.

Go deal with any teenager for any amount of time and I'm sure you'll be
feeling that you should have been paid for that mentally exhausting experience.

Actually, I spent 25 years teaching grade 7. I found it exhausting but very much fun. However,as I got older, my energy levels began to flag and so I moved up to teaching 10 - 12, mostly maths and science, for the final five years. Then I moved out to live in the lap of luxury with my pension. Bags and bags of cash every month.

simple ..don't buy their products

I see we have all the good teachers defending themselves on this thread.

Bad teachers are just a myth.

[ShepherdsDog]

no, they aren't a myth. You've proven that they exist

[mtbr]

and there's no bad cops either

or fat firemen

[ShepherdsDog]

That isn't fat, it's potential muscle and energy reserves....all bought and paid for.

Simple, homeschool your kids and don't pay your taxes!

Clearly, the solution here is to require teachers to have combat training.

It's like asking which is more important, air power or land power. I won't include seapower because it is far more important than either.

That's twice you posted that, what's the matter memory shot? Those teacher workdays were only 9 till 2 you just can't remember.

That's already an essential part of teacher training, if you want to work in the TDSB or Peel.

We appreciate your first hand knowledge as you are still in grade 7.

I was homeschooled at one point and taxes were still paid.

Also did better.
