1. If we teach small children, don’t tell us that our jobs are “so cute” and that you wish you could glue and color all day long.

Woops, this comment thing really doesn't work well.

My comment seems to have disappeared, but as I said, teachers get things that no one else gets (my mom's worked in education for 16 years). They get discounts from nearly every major retailer, forgiveness on student loans, discounts on home purchases, PAID vacation time (which adds up to more vacation that most professions gets), AND their salaries aren't peanuts. Add all that up and any teacher who complains about not being able to get by is clearly living above their means. Stop whining.

And to Katie, the nearly indecipherable comments are clear evidence that they have reason to bash teachers. Clearly their teachers didn't do their jobs properly when they were teaching them.
