What I can't figure out is why you ever thought you'd be happy as a teacher.

I have a lot of respect for my kids' teachers. I wonder if *you're* the one who thought this would be an easy job with summers off, and then you found out it wasn't.

LOL, If I were paid for hours worked, I'd be paid more as a teacher not less.

"I don't respect nor disrespect someone coming into teaching as a second career. I do worry that they don't have the appropriate classroom management skills to deal with 24 eleven, twelve and thirteen year olds at the same time."

I wonder if Cindy came into this thinking that she would be a hot property in terms of hiring and that career teachers would be fawning over her. Then she found out that she was just starting at the bottom like everybody else.

I'm talking about how people respond differently if I say "I'm an enginee" or "I'm a teacher".

Dude, it *is* offensive when whoville says that stuff, but lordy lordy lordy if we had to jumpt to it every damn time she says it, we'd have to give up our full time jobs and frankly, the fee-fees of SAHMs who don't bother to read the board archives and learn a bit about the players here, including the extremists in residence, aren't worth that kind of time. I mean, if Y'ALL can't be bothered, why should we?
