[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1023967, member: 1246"] I thinkyour assessment of "poor" is right on. My brother in law became a teacher and was ready to save the world. His first assignment was Margaret Park Grade School in Akron Ohio. I think it was one of the poorest in the city. He started dealing with parents and his assessment of them was that from 8AM-3PM..they don't want to hear about the kids....they are all yours! They only want their kids in school for the babysitting . He had a masters in education....stuck it out for the year and then transferred. He made a career of it and retired but I have never seen anyone so unhappy all the time. He worked hard to pay for his own college. [/QUOTE]
