Would you want to deal with today's kids and parents? I don't blame teachers...

This is actually true. To give a couple of examples, I have two neighbors that

Tell them no. Seems pretty simple

but it feels so much better to tell them to "pound sand" instead of just "no"

It IS simple - until admin gets involved and tells you to help them.

Eddie

would they though? Feels administrations are about policy, not making special

To answer your question - yes. They really would.

How many years have you taught?

Zero, but I didn't go into a profession I knew didn't pay very much

Glad I could help.

They don't necessarily complain about the pay.

Once again, this is the lamest retort. Teachers are leaving because of people

The school-as-day-care thing is a societal issue (and benefit).

I'm sure it has. But being dismissive of teachers and what they deal with does

You're assuming they're working less.

Oh there’s plenty of failing going on. You just aren’t allowed to say it.

There's only about one industry that deals with 10 year old snot-nosed

The issue right now is teachers being sick and there not being enough subs to cover all the classes. At our high school

1/26/22 2:27pm

This is a valid concern as it is a valid concern across many industries. But I wouldn't classify it as teacher burnout

Yep! It's tough right now, where they have to work 5 days this week, vs previous

Try teaching Spanish and being told you smell… you’d change your mind.

For real. Never try to improve things. Especially in public schools.

Ted Lasso

1/26/22 2:45pm

That is your response? Having teachers leave an hour early becuase of "burnout" is not trying to improve things

kimdaddy35

1/26/22 2:47pm

No teachers want that. Leaders cancelled it because of teacher response.

Yep, that is what I said. I am anti improving any public schools.. SMH
