"You should forfeit your rights to even type in this blog with such ideas and silly tangents you connect to form a thought!"
I should lose my rights to type here? Wow. What other rights do I lose becase I don't agree with you. And you're a teacher.
Mr. Theater: I am not antiteacher. But I get sick and tired of the arrogance and self promotion. You are all just as special unique and important as everyone else. Including me.
Yes, your father was a good teacher. But there are also really rotten crappy teachers. And the union PROTECTS them. How is this "for the students" I would like to know. Don't try to tell me there are not "teachers" who should never be put in a classroom.
As for your mother's hours: not much different than most working mothers I know including my wife. And me when our kids were younger.
" Explain to me how notifying responsible authorities (i.e. department heads, administrators and LC) is not enough? What more can a teacher do?"
If you all have your hands tied and can't (WON'T) do any more than why are you all posting here saying something needs to be done about residency. What are WE supposed to do if the great District 60 braintrust can't do anything.
"Teachers work hard. It is a thankless job. Parents blame them if their children fail. Administrators blame them if they hold the students to too high of standards. People post here and say horrible things about them without stopping to THANK them for what they put up with on a daily basis."
I work hard and put up with BS at a thankless job too. That's life.
"The next time venom begins to well up against teachers remember a teacher who made a difference in YOUR life, then find a teacher ANY teacher and THANK them for the job they are doing against amazing odds."
See this is the atttitude that absolutely sickens me. Yes I have had good teachers. Yes my children have had good teachers. Yes your father was a good teacher (yes I remember him). But I will ABSOLUTELY NOT give blanket thanks and praise to all teachers! Do you give blanket thanks and praise to ALL parents (including the crackheads) when you get a kid who is well-behaved? I didn't think so.
