[QUOTE="Honey Badger, post: 2993609, member: 4896"] First of all, we work more than that. Our contracts are actually done annually. Most of us spend 2-3 hours per night grading papers, or preparing for labs and lessons for the following day or week. Having said that I'll wager a lot of other professions honestly cannot say the same. Secondly, I don't teach because of the great pay, or the vacation time. I teach because I love Science and love working with kids. A point a lot of people don't understand. Most importantly, is that the minimal amount that is paid to teachers in our state is causing a lot of good ones to leave and go elsewhere where they will be paid more. Their motivation is their own and none of my business. But it is costing the students;(the most important part of the job), the chance at above board education. People who are not police officers are always sure they can do it better. People who are not the president are always sure they can do it better. People who don't have kids are always experts on how to raise them. People who aren't coaches can always tell you how to win a championship. My point?????? If you can do it better, then by all means get the degree and do it. Otherwise be cautious about insulting other people who are proud of their place in a great profession. [/QUOTE]
