But That Leaves Me With No One Else To Blame But Myself And That Will Not Do

I didn't listen to my Mom and I didn't become a teacher. Sometimes, like now as the BC Teachers are talking job action, I hear about the ridiculous amount of money they get (relative to what I make) and I think about how I should have listened to my Mom.

But then again, when I think about it I realize I would have been a lousy teacher and I would have ended up talking about job action and collective bargaining and I know I would not be able to stand myself if I had.

So I'm glad I didn't listen.

My opinion is totally biased but teachers deserve every dollar they get, especially with everyone looking at their fat pensions and strong unions as a source of government revenue.

Only a person who has actually finished a year in the classroom can understand the thousand of little challenges that make up the job. The planning, marking, coaching and meetings only adds hours to your day. Paid for ten month but stretched over twelve so I can recover my sanity before going into the next year.

I would never teach full time I don't think but I love the atmosphere. I am an even better sub than I was a teacher and I can choose the days I want to work. I miss it.
