You have no idea what it takes to teach and your ignorant comments prove this. I’d love to see you last a day in a Middle School classroom and try to figure out how to plan for and teach a block period with actual instruction that requires depth of knowledge, critical thinking, and writing. Then turn around and grade all the work on your own time. A monkey can turn the knob and watch a gauge at the plant while dreaming of truck nuts for a douche truck. You wouldn’t make it in a classroom. Add in dealing with parents like you who don’t back up teachers and create children with no respect. It takes a special person to raise your kids for you for so little

I've said probably 10 times I'd never want to be a teacher. Mainly because a lot of parents are shitty. However, my only argument is their compensation is fair. They have 8+ weeks off a year and make the median income. Not a bad gig. Then we developed in tdeucen's personal views, which are he thinks he deserves more money yet doesn't want to give anything up. For the third time in this thread, being a teacher you get 80% salary in perpetuity in retirement (which is around $1 million after 20 years), you don't pay SS, you pay very, very low medical, etc. These things are all forms of compensation. I'll ask you what Cave asked tdeucen, would you take a 50% raise to be entered into the SS pool, save for your own retirement and pay your own health care? The answer is no which means your total "real compensation" (economic term) is worth more than that.
