re: Reporter interviewing elementary school teacher ended with "Thank you for your service"

Have you seen inner city middle and high schools lately?

They call it 'combat pay'. Your primary job is to make sure no violence happens in your class. If you can actually teach something it's all frosting on the cake.

But both are providing a service to the community and should be thanked for their service

There was a time when I was super pro-teacher.

Unfortunately, like so much else at the University level, education departments have completely abandoned their actual function in favor of liberal indoctrination and it is now festering in our schools.

As a father of 3, with the last two a decade after the first, my experience has been consistent. The vast majority of teachers view themselves as working against me.

Which is sad really because very few parents make as much effort as I do to ensure my children follow thru on their assignments, to assist my children when they need it and communicates with teachers more often to ensure we are on the same page.

Most parents have no idea how much teachers truly hate them.
