I'm sick of being criticized. I wish I could be someplace where parents instill value in education rather than value in the latest iphones and video games. Let's tie benefits to student achievement and maybe more parents would get their kids to school. Let's reinstate out of school suspensions so we can actually teach the kids in our classes that WANT to learn. Kids come to prek not even knowing their real names....yet it's always US that are ineffective. I've been teaching 18 years and bust my butt DAILY. I've had it with spending MY money buying supplies for kids with the latest Jordans. The sense of entitlement is ridiculous. Anybody that wants to criticize should come in and teach for one week. They won't come back. I've had it!
