I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTV1 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I don't see why they're so tired. They work an 8 hour day with half of that time with the kids studying textbooks. They get a 30 minute lunch with 5 minute breaks between classes. They get weekends off, unless they are teaching a U.I.L contest class. Holiday's off, a week now at Thanksgiving (It used to be only Wed-Sun), a week off at, and now they have computers instead of grade books to keep up with the averages. Hey teachers, leave those kids alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I didn't mean to bash teachers. They are hard working people just like everybody else. The title of the article, "Theres no Tired Like Teacher Tired" just kind of made me think ... everyone thinks they have it harder than the next guy ... unless you have walked in their boots, you really don't know if it's the truth ...I'm sure there are lots of folks who have experienced harder days than I have and I've been through some pretty exhausting times both mentally and physically ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure teachers and coaches are VERY tired after dealing with kids all day .... I read it too, and I think the majority of teachers have a cush job, unless they're a coach or teacher of a U.I.L. class where they have to work extended hours. Some examples are band, debate, theater (drama), academic decathlon, public speaking, and I might be missing a few. I just remember back when I was in school, and I had some teachers that showed up 15 minutes before classes started and left right after the last bell rang. Some would be leaving the parking lot, before we even made it to our cars in high school. I do think teaching the imbecile millennials or whatever this generation is going to be called might be having it tougher than those days. While we were a somewhat rowdy bunch, this generation seems to think they are entitled to it. Those are the teachers I feel sorry for. I would still say the best teacher I ever had did very little teaching at all, and left it up to us to self teach ourselves. It was Mrs. Partain my 5th grade math teacher. Math was easy in the 5th grade so she simply told us we could work through the book, and once we finished it we didn't have to do anymore studying. Those that were quicker solving the problems and passing the tests could tutor those that were having trouble with math. I don't think there was a single student in that class that failed her class. I finished the book in early April, and there were two classmates that finished it before me. The entire class knocked it out in early May, and it was more of an hour break in class to do whatever we wanted to within reason for the month of May. If all my classes would have been like that, I think school would have been a lot easier than what it was. 5th grade was the first year that we had teachers that would only teach one class instead of all the subjects that we had to learn. While she did have to grade a lot of papers, many of them were on scantron where the teacher fed them into a computer to read. I can remember numerous teachers that would have us grade the person in back of us grade our quizzes and tests so they didn't have to. I would suppose that they would double check some to see if another student was trying to help a friend out, but I graded them the same. When they would read out the answers, I would know what questions I missed even before I got my graded test back. I've said this numerous times in my later years, if I would have known how easy it was to be in school I would have purposely failed all my classes as long as I could just to live that easy life.

And for those who've met Colmes, you can understand why his eyes move independent of each other, he has a tic on the right side of his face, and the incessant drooling. Putting up with all that bs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
