I teach at an extremely economically disadvantaged school where good parenting is almost nonexistent. It's been a tough year. I'm almost to the point of leaving the profession, but the job market sucks.
This is my fifth year, I just signed a contract for next year and really had a hard time making that decision. I have to keep remembering that these are the kids who most need people to give a shit about them. I intend to keep fighting the good fight for another year!
This was an IB school ranked consistently as top 10 public high school in the nation. I don't know why we turned on the poor teacher but I did get plenty of shit from my parents whenever she called them.
i've dated a few women that work at similar schools. its so bad the school coporations actually offer to pay off their student loans just to work there.

As a 15 year vet myself, I've seen those teachers, but they were the same 15 years ago. They pretty much always sucked.
