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.

I'm not expecting a thank you note or gift for doing my job, but I do expect to be paid for doing it. Some people expect teachers to work 24/7 and do more with less resources. I love working with middle school age children and I am a professional. There aren't any pay incentives for good teachers except for National Board Certification. Parents are willing to pay more for a nanny than for education.

It was meant to be a lighthearted article. Get over it. Stop overanalyzing. If you don't like it, that's okay...we won't make you read it.

When my kids have to be disciplined (ie getting their clip moved) at school, the teachers are almost afraid to tell me because they are used to parents that insist their child is perfect and the teacher is out of line. I say, Great! Do what you have to do to maintain order because if you don't, the kids will stomp all over you. I'm also glad to know that they don't need any more mugs, frames or stuffed animals because I'd rather get them something they DO need.
