Ok people. I am seriously upset by this. Then to read some of the ignorant comments that were made. Comments like, "yeah...teachers SHOULD work for free. they get paid for a year but only work part of it."
Let me tell you people. I WORK HARD. VERY VERY HARD. I'm exhausted when I finally get to go home. I am offended that people are still touting that "teaching is easy". I'm under constant scrutiny as well. All I do is open to the public's opinion. I fight daily for what is best for kids and work my tail off.
In what other profession do people spend money out of their own pockets? I seriously have thousands of dollars invested in my library. A library that students use daily. I buy school supplies so students that don't have them can have what the others have. I spend my summer break scouting super school supply sales. I spend my gas to get to them. And my time.
I'm mad and want to say more, but I need to go do some planning for tomorrow. I want my students to fully enjoy the 100th Day of School. Oh I'm just so annoyed right now. I love my job and just get sick of defending the fact that I have a right to get paid and not feel guilty about the vacation time I have.
p.s. go hug a teacher today or send a gift. NOT A MUG! hint: teachers LOVE gift cards and this teacher LOVES COFFEE!
