My wife teaches middle school.

She has students that tell her that she can teach them nothing
worthwhile, since they can make more money on a street corner in a
weekend than she makes in a month. They are neither lying nor
exaggerating.

They are much more profitable than she is, but she thinks they are
wrong.

So, should I tell her that she is mere envious of the more successful,
or just disdainful of her students?

You should tell her she has one of the most difficult jobs in the world.
The fact that she can put up with it, day after day, is a testament to her
patience. I lasted only ten years, by which time I was totally sick of 8th
graders.

Good luck to her. Give her a big hug every day when she gets home.

Everybody wave the flag and get out your hankies.

I think a group of 4th graders would eventually be able to intimidate the
old man to the point of him begging to teach preschoolers. No wonder he
retired.

Jimmie, you and Harrie are a couple of neat guys. You pretend to filter so
you can make sniping personal attacks showing a total lack of testicles.
