I do therapy with kids, a lot of which takes place in the classroom. Let me tell you something, teachers are brave souls. 25-30 kids and your responsible for the well being of each one, and also have to edumicate each one of em.
Unreal how much work teachers do that goes unnoticed. I would easliy rank it as one of the more stressful jobs I have seen. The grading tests, assignments, and homework is just part of the job that most people think about. The countless hours spent re-directing children, prompting children, and also disciplining them, which is almost impossible to do now, is what makes it tough. I would have no problem seeing teachers get paid more, ecspecially when it is broken down and you realize that BABYSITTERS are paid more per hour.
TEACHERS ARE SOME OF THE MOST CRUCIAL AND INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN A CHILDS LIFE. THEY DESERVE TO BE COMPENSATED WELL FOR ALL THEY DO.
If you cant tell, I appreciate teachers.
My father, Mother, stepmother, and three of my siblings are teachers.:0074
