Personally, I woul...My God, it's never ending! Personally, I would have loved to just achieved my teaching certification without having to go back to school to earn a degree. Had I been able to do so, more than likely I'd be employed right now. I guess we only remember that we DEMAND teachers be college educated professionals when it is convenient to do so. I am not arguing that teachers shouldn't be college educated, merely that since they are, how about we treat them as such when discussing wages/benefits, etc. <br /><br />Seriously, I made more before I went back to school (and had a pension and medical!) than I will as a first year teacher, provided that I am someday lucky enough to eventually land a job. Back then, I also didn't have to worry about repaying those pesky student loans. Again, I wonder what I was thinking in pursuing my dream of teaching. It is sad that our society values teachers so little.<br /><br />Next, of course, we'll hear about summers off and how teachers work 15 minutes per day.thinkernoreply@blogger.com
