Thank you for this. As a teacher, I get so sick and tired about people questioning what we do and what we get paid for doing it. I hope this makes a few people think differently about teachers - and if it doesn't, I invite them to walk in our shoes for a week... just one week. Then see if they still feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteExcellent video Joe! Those are the important things our teachers offer our children and Taylo Mali said it beautifully.
ReplyDeletePeople wouldn't even last one week! I have substitutes that only last an hour some days! Thank you for this! Teachers are truly the poorest paid for what we do. Think about it people.. we teach the future and helped all of you get to where you are today! That is a pretty heavy job to have and to get paid so little for the time you put into your profession!
ReplyDeleteGood teachers are absolute rare gems. No one makes anyone take a government tax paid job. One should understand that with such benefits, comes great expectations and that sometimes means critism. I hope the children are taught this too.
ReplyDeletestop whining .. if you arent happy with the pay get another job. You get thew whole summers off and long holidays off. the pay is what it is. not to high not to low. Just is what it is. Like it then keep the job . dont like it get a different one. a teachers job is the same as anyone elses. a teacher makes a good wage and earn it as well. but dont act like you are soooo underpaid for what you do. If you were then you wouldnt keep your job and go to school and earn a degree to do it from the start. You knew what the pay was from the beginning. everyone of u shas complaints and criticisims at our job, its a part of life.
ReplyDeleteWow 2:45am, I can see why you are so critical over teachers - you can't spell and obviously are not a fan of capitalization. I’m sure you were one of the fantastic students in school. For the majority of teachers “whole summers off” and “long holidays” are spent working 2nd and 3rd jobs, or attending workshops and meetings to better improve the instruction we provide in the classroom. Don’t act like we all sit on the beach with a drink in hand and laugh at those who have to go to work. Teachers don’t complain about pay unless someone like you tries to make it sound like we don’t deserve what we make. Then we complain about your ignorance, not our salary.
ReplyDeleteI never claimed you sat on the beach with a drink in hand laughing at those that are going to work. Guilty consience? My point was that teachers make a good wage for a job that is difficult much as most others with jobs. Teachers i know always say they arent paid enough. Well then dont choose that line of work. I know what teachers make and its a fine salary. I would like to have my summers off to make extra money with a second job or to relax, whichever is chosen by the individual
ReplyDeleteSeeing as how I didn't manage to make it to the beach once last summer, I far from have a guilty conscience. Don't say that teachers shouldn't have chosen their line of work and complain about the salary, if you chose your line of work and "would like to have my summers off." Just like teachers, you have a choice.
ReplyDeleteyes i chose not to get a degree in teaching. Not the job for me. I wouldnt want to do it. But glad some like yourself do want to because someone needs to. Good for you not making it to the beach.
