This is my eleventh year teaching. I live my job more each day, but this year has been a heavy one. I have to remind myself daily that this is my passion, my calling, exactly where God wants me. So thanks for the shout out. Keep doing what God has called you to!Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053550686512130886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-56993812701689267142012-01-07T17:27:46.499-05:002012-01-07T17:27:46.499-05:00I LOVE this post! Everything you said is so true! ...I LOVE this post! Everything you said is so true! I have my degree in Early Childhood Education {I'm still looking for a job though} but I have been subbing for a little over a year now. Teaching is the most rewarding profession. There's nothing better than seeing that look of understanding after you have just taught them something new. People don't realize just how much teachers do. Last winter, when I was student teaching, one of my Kindergarten students would walk to school every single day and he never had a coat, hat, gloves, or ANYTHING! So, I went and got him some winter clothes. Teachers are so much more than just that....sometimes, we are the only adults who really love and care about those kids.Ms. Chiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117318777383364736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-11953849767079709642011-09-09T22:28:49.191-04:002011-09-09T22:28:49.191-04:00Great post girl!

If I got paid overtime for all of the hours I came in early, stayed late, planned lessons or graded papers at home, I might be making a decent salary. Budgets are getting cut left and right, class sizes are getting bigger and we're getting less and less supplies and I'm putting more and more of my own money into it and no one ever says "thank you." I just never understood why everyone hates us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13536683370164720232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-33016792024431912932011-09-08T21:05:31.979-04:002011-09-08T21:05:31.979-04:00Love love love this post!

I'm in the process of Student Teaching in a 6th grade classroom and LOVE IT. <br /><br />The ignorance, misunderstanding, and unfairness teachers face daily is just becoming reality to me, and I thank you for posting about it!<br /><br />Keep doin what you're doin :)Maggiehttp://www.glitzngrammar.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-11519142478020381222011-09-08T18:10:14.134-04:002011-09-08T18:10:14.134-04:00My husband is a teacher and he struggles most days...My husband is a teacher and he struggles most days but it is where God wants him to be right now.

I knew I couldn't teach, I don't have the patience. I admire the people that do. The list of all the things you wrote of what you do all year probably isn't half of everything teachers do. Teachers don't just show up and hand out worksheets. As a social worker, we look to teachers to be our eyes and ears in the classroom, lunchroom, and outside at recess, car rider duty, etc. Teachers often spend more time with children than their parents do anyway. I work in Child Protective Services and every case I get, I call the teacher and see what they have to say. Most of them are like you, they know the child's name and a little about them. It irritates me when teachers act like they don't know who I'm talking about or they just say, "oh he misses a lot of days" or "she is well-behaved in class" and that's it. The ones who care know soooo much more. Thanks for being a "caring teacher." We appreciate you!<br /><br />PS I found your blog through Emily Parker.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548467070443513631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-30183389671556412372011-09-08T14:43:03.227-04:002011-09-08T14:43:03.227-04:00Amen.Amen.Avery Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968586627480336172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983209524173572063.post-29580057063489913402011-09-08T13:52:32.625-04:002011-09-08T13:52:32.625-04:00I LOVE LOVE LOVE this post!

Whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always answered that I wanted to be a teacher. I have never given another answer. Reading your post, I can see the truth about teaching, which isn't always what we hear in school.

I grew up with my parents as educators, and I appreciate what they do beyond compare! I am very upset with the budget cuts, and the wages, I would like those people who down on teachers to know who taught the doctor to be a doctor or a lawyer to be a lawyer?! Thank you for this post it was amazing and I agree with you so much!Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416273068566113385noreply@blogger.com
