[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 126851, member: 1944"] Ctoth, I agree teachers are underpaid, my lovely daughter in law teaches second grade, in a public school which is in a small town, and still quite good. And I have no problem throwing money at schools for computers, and new hi tech things. And what I hear her talk about and what I see, there is no amount of pay that I could do it for. When I talk about infusing teachers, I mean letting them do what they had the heart and desire to do, teach. Not have to deal with people at conferences who really have no interest in their child, or wait for parents to come and have 2 out of 60 show.Or deal with the ADHD who may not even be ADHD, just labeled that because he/she has no where to chanel energy where anyone pays attention but at school. Which takes away from the kids who do want to learn. I deliver to 4 schools, I see waste at many. They say they need new schools coz some are old and hard to heat, yet they are like 80 degrees in the winter, and 60 in the summer and the kids have windows open on every floor. I see brand new boxes never opened, full of books, in the trash cans. And why do the secretaries have tvs in the office, why are they on aol writing email when they should be working? Yes I am a driver and I was a single parent but I did not start driving until they were in high school. If They had started being problem children, I would have quit and they knew it. For them to have what they had they needed to be responsible. And they knew that from the time they were 10 and 6, and I was on the preload. You get yourselves up, and get to school on time, and no crap, or Ill go back to making 3 bucks an hour and they got it. I wish I had more time with them even then but that wasnt how it was planned just the way it ended up. You have to spend as much time as possible, with them, when you have to work, and everything else goes on the back burner, including social life and dating and anything else you might like to do, because you have a responsibilty and your life comes second. If everyone felt that way what a perfect world it would be. [/QUOTE]
