waf: Whenever you're confronted by a fact contrary to what you've claimed, you resort to histrionics. waf: no, im just demonstrating that your little sob stories about teachers having to do their job are pathetic.
It's about how difficult and demanding the job is, WAF.
waf: OMG paft?! they have to grade 30 papers! oh the horrors! what do you think most business people do when they get home from work?
Sometimes they relax and have dinner. Sometimes they do a bit of extra work on the side. Most who are paid at the rate teachers are paid do not spend several hours poring over take home work. And yes, grading 30 papers a night is extraordinarily difficult and time consuming, especially when those papers involve essays and complex answers that have to be assessed.
waf: you're talking to someone who grew up with a teacher as a mother, has a sister who teaches, and has a whole slew of family friends who teach. i see the reality of teaching first hand.
And yet you were unaware that teachers average 50 work hours a week? Weird.
