True to a degree. Though in some cases I'm sure the out-of-school hours of
private tutoring the parents paid for also played a role.

Dave T.

You assume too much.

Are you suggesting there was no tutoring, or that it didn't help?

In your case, does it matter?

"If there's no wind, row."

If one of my kids decided to become a teacher I would be very dissappointed.


Why is that? It's a good profession and the pay is okay. I have a friend who's
making about 55K and has the summers off, or work summers and make 70K. You can
do very well at some schools and if you're good at it you can really help some
kids. I guess you can make more money other ways but you won't have the
emotional rewards.
I have great respect for teachers, firemen, policemen, nurses and EMTs and so
on.

Well said, Bubbles. Donal, for some reason, believes teachers are not
worthy contributors to society. Or perhaps he believes they don't earn
enough to be respectable members of the population. He's wrong on either
count.

Your lower than average IQ has prevented you from understanding my words.

You are a true redneck!
You are able to reach a definite conclusion without any real evidence.

I have enormous admiration for teachers. Most of them are in the
profession because they love their job. They take great pride in educating
youngsters. Their *role* is more important than the financial reward.

20 years ago, teachers were respected members of the community. They were
not paid a huge salary, but they were guaranteed a job for life. In return
for the low pay, they got good holidays - and an index linked state pension.

These days, teachers are treated like s*it. They are likely to get sacked
if they fail to meet government "targets". Why would anyone want to enter a
low paid profession if there isn't a bonus at the end?

And YET you'd be unhappy if your child became a teacher.
Start making sense anytime you like, Donal.
