Default Re: Debate: Teachers Wages

My aunt, sister, cousin, and four college buddys are all teachers. My college buddys (all of which are math teachers) have all had a hell of a time getting jobs. My cousin just got a job and beat out thirty applicants for that one position.

I'll take thirty problem children (like that is even remotely accurate in describing the average classroom anyway) over a dozen severly developmentally disabled individuals and a 14 year old who drinks and smokes an ounce of pot a week any day. Much easier. If you really think teaching simple subjects year after year is super hard then I guess we have different standards on what is and what is not hard.
