My wife has been teaching for nearly 4 decades, all of it 1st grade. She’s a legend at her school, and still works tirelessly. It’s absolutely amazing to me how a parent of any child could just blow off these conferences. Jesus, is there anything more important than your child? What is more pressing…your job, your fantasy football team? And other than safety and nutrition, what is more important to their future than their education.

You’re telling me you can’t find 15 fucking minutes a fucking year to go and see the kids classroom, look at his work at get some honest feedback of your child, face-to-face with someone that cares for your child. The fuck is wrong with you people.

Look I’m not naïve, not all teachers are good, and some are bad, but most of them care more about your child than obviously some of you do.

Great post. Your wife sounds like a great person. God bless her.

There are definitely bad teachers and one who are not in it for the right reasons. But there are still a bunch of good ones left and not all places have an agenda.


Agreed. Like any profession there will be bad employees. Education is no different. There are bad teachers and in some cases terrible teachers. However the system is not littered with them.
There are a ton of teachers that care and in MANY cases might care too much. That's why a great number of them get burned out and quit well before they are able to retire. As I'm sure you know.

Unlike most professions, however, bad teachers are protected and immune to reprimand and / or termination. This isn't unique to teachers and I'm not anti-union...it's just a reality. A majority of private sector jobs do not have that protection and it's much easier to get rid of bad employees.

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison. I fully agree there are more good teachers than bad teachers so don't group me in the teacher bashing group. The education problems sit fully in politics and bloated administration


Having job protection and an ability to challenge your superior isn't necessarily a bad thing however. I wish MANY other professions had the same ability to be honest.
And not all teachers are protected either. Charters don't and it's a disaster for them as they can't ever seem to keep teachers. They pay them shit wages and in a lot of cases treat their teachers like shit simply because they know that they aren't protected.
