Amen girl! I started to read this and I thought, "Oh, no!" She has no idea what we do! So much more than babysit. Then I finished reading! It brightened my day. I teach kindergarten in an inner city school. Thanks for the great start to another round of "babysitting!"
hehehe I love that one...it is oooh so true
I LOVE my job but it stinks we have to work summer school to just make ends meat
I am a first grade teacher with 25 little rugrats in my oh so small room. I wish I made that kind of money. I teach at a private school, so I basically feel like I work for nothing. I can't really complain though I love my job. I have an aid, wear scrubs and pretty much get whatever I ask for. Yes, I sound spoiled. But I did do my time at an awful public school for several years. During I had a first grader throw his desk at me, I was called ugly names, swong at and basically felt like one of these parent's are going to beat me down, because I corrected their child.
People just don't understand what we go through on a daily basis. I am all for the babysitting money, if it breaks down like that!!!! : )

I SAY THANK YOU ... TO ALL THE TEACHERS...
Yes... It is a shame your not getting paid more in this life for all you do. anyone that works with children I believe it will pay off in the end!! Keep up the good work!! God speed... and Bless you always.
You got me on this one. I started reading and begin to fume!! I thought what is Melimeli talking about.....but I read on and then got a good laugh. I too am a teacher, eh hem....babysitter that educates too.
I'm a former music teacher & boy did I get tired of hearing parents talk about how easy my job must be! Do they honestly think that dealing w/a bunch of 7th graders is easy? I kept saying over and over that I was due a raise!
I love this...it did make me smile...LOL. I'm a spec. ed. teacher too...LOL. I can say I'm lucky that I live in NY b/c the salary is pretty good for a teacher up here but I do hear from DH that I only work 9 or 10 months a year and he hates it when I have off for all the holidays and vacations...LOL. He's just jealous!
Yep, I am a teacher.... My favorite quote from angry parents are "Well, I pay your salary!" I always respond "Yep, I pay my own too!"
Do they honestly think I do not pay taxes????
