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.
