I recognize the perks about being a teacher, with the built in vacations that match those of my children leading the top of the list. I do take a lot of work home with me during the school year, but it's completely worth having 10 weeks or so off during the summer, even when I squeeze a class in there, which usually I can do in just one condensed week out of the summer. So really, Robert. Since you recognize the same perks of the job, why didn't you decide to become a teacher?

Robert, since it's such an awesome job, why aren't you a teacher?

TTTT - I would have to agree that the classroom is not the place to spread political positions. I remember discussion last year about whether we should take the opportunity during winter conferences to "inform" the public of the negative impacts the Governor's bill would have on education. It was based purely on the principle of providing knowledge to the general public who maybe weren't as informed of the content of the bill, although I know it may not seem that way. Most came to their senses and realized the controversy involved and the inappropriateness of such actions. We decided together to remain professional and not touch on the subject. I can't speak on what individuals decided to do, but it did seem that their intent was not out of ill-will. They really saw it as informing the public, and I'm sorry to hear they didn't stick by the union's decision to leave the subject alone.
Then there's the case of people assuming we do things we don't because of our outward expression of opinion outside of the classroom. My children have "reported" to me often that my ex-husband's wife has said on several occasions, "and she teaches her political views to her students in the classroom!" 1) She has absolutely no idea what I teach. I don't think she even knows what subject I teach. 2) I would never be so foolish as to attempt to spread my political position to my students, especially with something so controversial. Those teachings need to come from their own parents.
I'm curious, TTTT. You spoke of your son's struggles in school and how teachers said he didn't deserve to be taught, yet you attended several awards ceremonies for him?

I appeciate your comments, iluvjvl, but really, her words spoke for themselves. There's nothing one can say to get through to a person like that. Thanks, though.
