I hope others as are as servile as me to enjoy ttheir work no matter what it is and that I can inspire the children I teach to do the same. It sounds like your district has different standards than ours for teaching music. Retrieved 17 November 2011. Dude had a horrible autobus of psoriasis.

It lists examples of traits common to teachers and explains why they would be desirable to men. Here's one: It is easy enough to date a girl who teaches. You can buy her anything but please spare her with coffee mugs; she has lots from her students. I read the post, then immediately began writing my own version. Friends, I give you: Let's say you meet a girl. You might even picture stock images of teachers, laughing as they point to vowels in a workbook, or smiling triumphantly as little Johnny correctly identifies Macedonia on a map of the world. You think about movies and TV shows you've seen where teachers like Hilary Swank, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Zooey Deschanel charm the socks off their students, overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, and manage to do it all while looking awesome. Why it still rings true? Because we generally don't have papers to grade. Why do we have trouble finding jobs? Because a school might have 25 classroom teachers for every one music teacher. After all, who wouldn't want a teaching job where all you do is have the kids sing and don't grade papers anyway? The issue is that many schools and teachers don't treat music teachers as real teachers. Why would music teachers feel like they are unappreciated? There are some possibilities... No worries, my football team is still in playoffs and since the band program exists solely to support the football team... I guess focusing on that Christmas concert in three weeks wasn't all that important anyway. One more round of Land of 1,000 Dances! Anonymous Further, a 3 month break for summer? Teachers spend summers attending conventions, conferences, workshops, professional developments, training seminars, curriculum planning meetings, teaching summer school, taking college courses, and other time-consuming things. When it is all said and done, most teachers get about two weeks off, just like the rest of the world who works, too. It is weird to me when certain teachers start belittiing other teachers. I stay after school unpaid to help my students, but I don't complain about doing it. It sounds like your district has different standards than ours for teaching music. Our students go daily, and the classroom teacher assigns the grades, so that DOES stink that you have to do your own grade on the report cards. Anonymous I was first a research scientist and then an investment banker before I became a teacher in the UK system. TRUST ME when I say Investment Banking is kids play, payment for fun, party time and most definitely, absolutely definitely NOT long hours or arduous work. Teaching is exactly as described. Oh yeah - and being stabbed for real by a teenager with issues is nowhere near as much fun as being stabbed in the back on a misbrokered deal. Anonymous Teachers do love to complain. They deserve to do some complaining, but lets do some analysis: How many hours does a teacher work per year? The school year is about 180 days. Lets say the typical work day is about 10 hours. Plus 6 hours every Sunday. A week before the students start and a week after they leave. Every work environment has it's major stressors: working in retail having to work Holidays, low pay, working with the general public, etc Higher profile jobs ie, lawyers, doctors-much better pay, but stress of others lives in their hands in one way or another... Obviously being under constant scrutiny of your every move has got to be stressful! So we ALL have certain major stresses in our professions! But on the subject of Teachers, I am very appreciative for every teacher no matter ehat they teach because I know the profound effect they can have on our children and just hope every child gets the opportunity to experience at least one that they connect with; it's an incredibly important relationship! I owe who I am today to a few teachers; onevof whom I still speak to almost every month since I had her in class... I wrote a haiku. Teaching is hard, and so is your job. Let's get some margaritas, y'all. I also wrote a limerick. I also wrote a free verse poem. But there is no prize for most suckage Unless you work for a baby bottle distributing company. Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week. Anonymous y'all complainin about stress at work, try defendind this fucked up country. I Give respect to anyone who works hard. Teachers who work hard and enjoy what their doing can really make an impact on someones life, so they do deserve respect and a lot of it. If someone works at mcdonalds and has a smile on their face everytime you see them and does their job right, they deserve just as much respect because they're making the best of their situation and are putting forth effort. Be happy you are safe at home with your families or your friends, be happy you have a job, quit bein so fuckin sad over things you take for granted EVERYDAY. Semper Fi Anonymous I am a teacher and I love my job. I work 2-4 additional hours a day + weekends writing reports and developing Individual Education Plans AFTER I spend 8 hours teaching. While this may sound like an ideal schedule for some, I counted on working for the3 months in summer for the past decade to be able to pay for my medical bills that my crappy school district insurance does not cover. Every job has it's positive and negatives. If your job is too stressful, then change. Life is too short to not enjoy what you do. Anonymous So many different and equally valid, yet completely biased and conflicting viewpoints have been expressed here. It's quite simple in how complex it is. Part of it is stress, and everyone deals with different stresses differently. Some of you have talked about the people they work with being more conniving than children, but I can guarantee you that there are those who just shut down around the constant high energy of children. And others of you are talking about how teachers have so much time off, but I work a consulting job that's both tied to the stock market I'm working when it is open and tax season I work at least 80 hours a week between January 1st and March 15th , and yes it's a ton of work, but I enjoy what I do and it isn't too overbearing because of that fact. If you think teachers are being paid too much or too little, the way I see it is you have two options: 1. You believe in the free market, so you know they are underpaid because so much of their market is government controlled, which is the antithesis of free market. Either way, that comes down to belief on capitalist systems which no one here is discussing. However, the larger point is that certain things come easier to some people, than other things come to other people. If you all want to keep speaking in generalities and then only providing anecdotal evidence... I think this all has to do, more with the larger topic of how we've created such an emphasis on education that we require more education than is necessary for most positions, and there is such a cost premium on education, that the lower levels of education have lost their distinction. I will leave you all with my final thought. I believe we have lost the distinction between education and cognitive development. By that I mean, a fry cook at McDonald's, only really needs a middle school level of education, but they don't these days seem to develop the work ethic and responsibility to maintain a full-time job at that level until after high-school age. I don't think that that should be an indication that high-school is required to be a fry cook, but either that we've stop teaching our children responsibility at the rate that they can handle it though we all recognize it as having been horrible, girls use to start raising large families at the age of twelve, with the 'boy' of the household was 16, we don't expect as much out of our kids, as quickly as, we use to. Or that we keep telling our children that they're all special and that they can all do whatever they want, because that is simply not true. Moreover, as politically incorrect as it is, not everyone can be the best, half of people will below average. When we stop trying to convince the bottom don't take this as class warfare, when I say bottom I mean the bottom intelligence-wise, not sub class based on parental success. Studies have shown that intelligence is cyclical, as in, the most intelligent, tend to come from the least intelligent parents Forrest Gump for a fictional example , that they can be above their station, our lower level education, and thus educators, will be more properly valued. Until the large number of different systemic issues are addressed, all this back and forth is purely academic, and not very useful academic at that. I love my family and they deserve a good mother and wife, not a stressed, exhausted, on-the-verge-of a mental breakdown, cardigan wearing, homeless-looking witch! But everytime I start to fantasize about driving to a work place in the morning where I would sit behind a desk, sip coffee, chat casually with coworkers, complete paperwork, stare at a computer monitor, attend meetings with adults not screaming, cussing, fighting, disrespecting kids... I get pulled back to the reason I chose this crazy path- I really enjoy teaching kids. I really enjoy watching them achieve new goals. I love when they finally learn to work together in small groups and create something really great! I get to have some kids for 3 years. It's quite amazing how much they grow up from 6th to 8th grade. They come in like little kids and leave me as mini-people with mature ideas, expanded vocabulary. I hate testing and I hate what it's doing to our kids. So, I teach because I am passionate about teaching. I just try not to forget about my own family from time to time. By the time I retire I will have taught thousands and thousands of kids. I see former students in the store and they're all grown up and so excited to see me! Kids I barely remember are excited to see me and tell me that they loved my class and learned so much. I kind of feel sorry for anyone that has never had the opportunity to even volunteer with kids. They are really missing out. Especially that fry cook guy above me. He cant remember his teachers before college?! Did he have a brain injury in high school? How will he remember what he learned in college?! I remember all my teachers, they inspired me to do so many great things. Poor fry cook guy. I'm sorry you had mediocre teachers before college and I'm sorry about your brain injury that won't allow you to remember your teachers. You should thank your 2nd and 3rd grade teachers whomever they were for teaching you to write so that you could fully communicate your fry cook story. Each person deals with a high level of stress in their work place. Parents, students, principals, co-workers, bosses, customers... In the end, all the careers mentioned in this post are necessary to the overall success of our society; so I will not begrudge anyone their right to complain about what they have to go through. It's the state of this country, I guess; with such hard divisions, why would we not create divisions of our own? Anonymous I couldn't even finish reading that first post. To me, that says that he only ever wants to see me as a teacher, and not as a woman. The idea that he can feel free to be gross in front of me is asinine! Yeah, kids fart, and I do too, but I don't want to come home to a complete slob! That post was all about keeping a woman in her place instead of empowering her to be something more. I wanna hit the author in the face. Does she even KNOW?! During my student teaching, I helped coach a long distance running program. Since we ran in the neighborhood the school was located, sometimes we encountered other students, too. You can't talk to her like that! Anonymous Guys, avoid school teachers like the plague. Here's just a few more reasons: 1 Teachers are always on the lookout for guys who make lots of money and it is all they want. You know not of what you speak, sir. I am a teacher and the only one that applies is 2. I'd rather not have to bring home things for planning and such, but it's part of the job. Just as you may have stories to tell from the office, we have stories-of our kids students-but always my kids and colleagues. And then there are always those students you worry about and try to think of ways to help them. But you'd better believe I make time for my life. Anonymous I was laughing... Again, I am a teacher, so hear me out. I have done other things prior to becoming a teacher, and it is true... It is physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. The general public has no idea how hard we work. From the outside looking in, it does seem like a pretty sweet gig. I think what annoys me about the endless teacher griping is that we forget that we should LOVE what we do. If you are a teacher who hates the pay, the stress, the constant to-do lists, and the way we are perceived by the public, I highly suggest you find a new job. As far as the pay goes, I am not rich, but I certainly couldn't find any other job that would satisfy me the way this one does. I also could never find a job that would give me 14 weeks off a year. We do spend that time planning for the upcoming year and honing our craft, but I love that part of my job. I also know that we do not work near as hard during that time off as we do when students are around. Moving on to the perception from the public. Unless these people quit their current profession and walk a year in our shoes, they will never get it. Suck it up and move on. No amount of complaining or explaining is going to change that perception. I think we need to look at our own words and really look at how we are fueling the fires between teachers and non-teachers. I know how difficult it is to be a teacher, but I also know how joyous it truly is. Let us focus on the positive and remember why we do what we do. I taught for several years and had a career before teaching and after. I get so frustrated by the sense of entitlement some teachers have. I loved teaching and hope to go back to it. The pay, the benefits and the time off are three things I won't find in most jobs. I think it takes a teacher leaving education to see what it's like for everyone else. He will work less and make more, all things considered. Plus he is in a fulfilling career, unlike before. Grass is greener for some... Anonymous You people make me laugh EVERYONES WORK IS HARD I don't care what you do...... Teachers I commend you I could never do what you do. As for myself as a business owner with my own construction company I am sure there are those of you who cannot do what I do. That is all it boils down too. Soooooo many have to take a good hearted joke and twist it into yet another debate of who works harder and who has bigger balls. Whats this world coming too. I enjoyed it and I appreciate all the teachers who continue to teach all the children of the jackasses who don't realize half the time the teacher's are the one's raising your children as well and most care for them like there own. Anonymous TT - Anonymous Also: Oh, my! All so familiar, as a retired 17 years elementary teacher who always worked an extra job on weekends and summers, I can really appreciate all this. Raised eight children and have eighteen grandchildren. Two daughters, one son, and two daughters-in- law are all teachers, so you can imagine family conversations echo many of the comments here. Teaching is a noble but much maligned, under valued, and misunderstood vocation. Too funny and true! My favorite was the part about random marker and pen marks below your elbows. How do those GET there?! I'm sure my husband would entirely agree with the part about the end of the grading period. I am a HOT MESS. Oh, and geez with the negative commentary! LOVED your poetry, btw. I'm just always impressed when a teacher blogger has so many followers. Boo to Negative Nancys, but I just have to laugh. I had a great laugh out of it and as I always do, had a great laugh out of the following comments! While there are those folks that are a teacher by profession, I also believe that EVERYONE in ANY job is just as much a teacher in a way. My two cents, so now let the opinions about my opinion begin! Anonymous I taught middle school, high school and college PE. The pay sucked at all 3! But hell it was PE and a blast. One of my college friends and I got hired for our first ever teaching jobs at the same middle school. She always complained about all the work she took home. I just laughed and told her she should have been a PE teacher. I had little extra work. Then she visited my class of 43 7th graders playing street hockey. She said she would stop complaining haha! Every teacher fits a different role. Some of us can command 40-50 students and that's where our work is done others deal with 20-30 and have homework. On a side note, I was laid off in 2010. I started my own business and make my teaching salary every 10 weeks. Teaching was easy by comparison and way more time off. Anonymous Loved this and really got a good laugh, which was so needed right now! I Of course, it's so true too - everything you wrote. My husband knows the times to walk around me lightly and speak in dulcet tones. It's life with an educator, ya know? Teachers - educators - we have to have a sense of humour to make it through this thing we call a career. I love my job but find that by Friday afternoon I'm so exhausted that I can barely stay awake. We are seen as the problem solvers so between team teaching, having a caseload of students that we need to write IEP's for, testing, reporting, co-ordinating national testing at our school, organising disability provisions for state exams, monitoring out of home care students and managing students who are having a melt down, need a pen or a tissue we also support class teachers who have students mucking up, assist casuals who don't know the students, fix technology issues and solve class placement and ESL dilemmas just to name a few of the things that we do. I'm just thankful for holidays and for a principal who tells us to go home and not think about school for awhile that I get paid for in Australia as they allow me recuperate mentally and physically, spend quality time with my husband and children and to sort all the things that simply don't fit into the term time schedule! By the end of my holidays I'm usually well and truly ready to go back to work with enthusiasm and to see 'my' kids. Anonymous The article is great!! I am not a teacher, but I currently date a Kindergarten teacher. Specifically during this time of year, the holidays, when parents send all kinds of goodies in to the teacher. Since she doesn't want to eat ALL of the sugary goodness that parents send in, I live high of the holiday hog with cookies, candies and other delicious treats. I love my teacher! But seriously, you teachers do get three months off. Anonymous As somebody who has had other jobs before becoming a teacher, I can say that different jobs have different stresses. This does not mean I think being a teacher is more stressful, but that maybe is a type of stress that someone else feels. Not only is it stressful because you have to make sure you are trying to get all the paperwork done. This is also for the children too. For anybody who has trained in a job. Imagine training continuously for 13 years as an adult always learning new skills with only 4 weeks holidays. The children need their school holidays for a rest. My school is almost at the end of a 9 and a half week half-term and our children are exhausted. I am luckily enough to enjoy my job, no matter how stressful it can be, it can also be extremely rewarding. I hope others as are as lucky as me to enjoy ttheir work no matter what it is and that I can inspire the children I teach to do the same. Anonymous I love the article, made me laugh-but then I began reading the posts, and they made me well-upset. As a teacher, some days are difficult, but I love every minute of it-and the comments about summer, sure, we get a break from our students, but not from our careers... Just as teachers chose theirs, where we are in danger of school shootings, violence, and are trained to defend not just ourselves, but our students from those who are committed to harming our kids... Please-next time you want to criticize a profession-remember we do more than you think, just as I am sure you do more that we think... I used to think that it was ridiculous for teachers to complain about their jobs - I mean, they get paid relatively well, they get summers off, and they get a lot of benefits, right? That was until I became a teacher in Taiwan. Granted I was an ESL Teacher, which is different, but it's hard as HELL to teach. I love kids, but you have to be at a 100% energy level all of the time. If you aren't, or if you don't have classroom management skills, or if you don't have a lesson planned to occupy the students' attention at all time and contingency plans , then the students will realize and take advantage of you or become bored. I would say that one hour of teaching is the equivalent to three hours of working an office job, in terms of output. Also, compared to the hours that teachers put in planning lessons, grading homework, and preparing tests, I would say that they are not paid well. It might be as much as the government can give them, but it's probably not fair. There are many rewarding things about teaching, but I don't think lax schedules or high wages are among those things. Props to all teachers! I value your work and energy, and I'm impressed with how hard you work and how much you care! The rest of us hover between 30k and 40k for about 180 hours of work per week. Anonymous So From the Daughter of a Teacher: Mom started every day with us kids getting us off to school and herself there in time to meet the bus which some days was just a fun ride. Then she had class with all the rest of your kids. She would drive herself trying to reach little Joe or maybe Sue would do better with this. And then she'd stay after school to do the set up for the next day, after school meetings, tutoring or who knows what else. Then she came home but she wasn't ours yet as she was still tired from dealing with other people's children's drama. So she might not be out of that stressed mindset yet. Now there were after school meetings, the school play, and the endless correcting. The first thing a child of a teacher learns is how to correct, because it is parent time and it might mean getting the damn pile of your parent's paperwork finished for once in time for you to have some time with them. So while all of you gripe about how much a teacher is paid, what days they have off, what your child learns or doesn't let me tell you what I saw over my mother's career: 1 a woman who studied hard to figure out new ways to reach your kids 2 a woman who spent her summer using her kids as guinea pigs to test classroom content for your kids 3 a person who brought your kids into our home: their work , their troubles, and their families issues and tried to wade through it all and make it work. If you all in John Q Public all think teaching is so easy and teachers are so well paid for this job take my place as I have quit. If parents won't read to their kids I don't care if they are special , if they won't teach them public manners no its not cute its rude , or if parents won't respect the education processes make your kids responsible for their education reading,homework and learning yes learning not goofing off then they can take my place and teach in a school. If you have the solution take my place because I can't do it anymore when in the past three years I have stood between fighting kid, kids out to hurt each others. When they asked me in my interview how will you handle the stress of a deadline I did not ask them how do you handle the stress of two fighting teens both twice your size but answered politely. Being a teacher is awesome... In the event that you once again set your sights high and try, here are a few tips... Teachers who plan well rarely have metldowns, but a little support during a stressful time would be both unselfish and helpful, if you can manage it. We don't use our phones during the school day because our students can't use them and we are supposed to be modelling the kind of behavior we expect from them. We talk about our jobs and compare them to your significant life events because, to us, they are just as important. Teaching isn't something you do, it's a way of life. We appreciate silence at home because, during work hours, students are calling our names constantly usually more than one student at a time! Sorry you can't experience it in whatever job you have. I hope you get past this insecure phase in your life where you feel like you have to put down women who are teachers to feel better about not being good enough to date them... You are no better than a person who chooses to confront someone via text rather than in person, and then places a smiley face after insults, as if that makes everything ok. To all of the female teachers out there, you are FABULOUS. The only importan piece of information to take from all of this is, when you're looking for a date, is steer clear of this guy.
