Venting

So today I have ran the gamete of emotions. I have gone from tears to laughter and all the way back! I don't know exactly how it happened but it did.

You're probably wondering why. Let's just say one word - SCHOOL.

It's amazing to me to think how people can be so critical of the education field. People always say that teachers should be doing this and doing that. They talk about how this is wrong with the education field and that we should be doing things different AND THEN say But I could NEVER be a teacher. Everyone seems to think that they can solve the problems in the education field but don't want to enter. My favorite is when they say... You have off the summers. Actually I don't take off the summer. I am going to a conference that will last a week, most likely I will tutor kids this summer like I did last summer, I will read books about how to be a better teacher, review lesson plans from last year to make them better for next, etc. BUT I HAVE OFF THE SUMMER. Why is it that no one ever says THANK YOU for what you do - the time you spend here (school) - the money you spend - for not going to some other profession where you could be making a TONS more money. It would just be nice to have a little bit of thanks.

Sorry for all the complaining.... just frustrated. I really do like my job. It would just be nice to have some positive feedback than a ton a people complaining.

More tomorrow
