I just spent the evening with a bunch of REAL teachers - the ones who
were
able to put up with their kids for more than 10 years. I have zero
sympathy
for John's troubles with teaching.


I've been in the business for 34 years.

There are a lot of variables. Lacking an administration that has
sufficient male genitalia to actually administrate.... 10 years is a
lifetime.

Perhaps assertiveness training should be a requirement for students
training
to be teachers.


Assertiveness isn't a problem for teachers. Administrators that see
themselves only as good will ambassadors to the community need the
training.

I remember a distinct attitude among my best teachers (late 1960s): **** the
community. Take care of the students.

Times have changed. School boards are elected. School boards hire
superintendents, who hire and fire principals, who react to parents, who
call their local school board member.

I haven't seen this problem. Give me examples. Why do parents call, and
about what?

No. I've better things to do than write examples. If you live in a district
without elected school boards who hire superintendents who hire principals
who react to parents who vote for the school board, then it would be an
exercise in futility to explain how the system works.

You have no problem finding the time to dump meaningless little messages
here all day long. Give up 10 of those for a day, and you'll have the time
to explain what you're talking about.

Otherwise, we will assume you have NO examples.

Crikey, Herring really is an ignorant ass. When I was in public school
back in the dark ages, we had an elected school board responsible for
hiring the superintendent of schools. He thinks this is something new?

The Northern Virginia schools are better off without a racist ass like
Herring. I recall his constant whining about the black kids he had to
teach and the noisy Hispanics who lived down the block. He should have
stayed in the Army.
