I'm a 6th year middle school teacher. I teach 7th grade pre-algebra and 8th grade algebra 1, and I am seriously considering moving on to the private sector, business, or perhaps teaching community college. I love teaching, but frankly I'm just tired. Tired of fighting with parents who care less about thier kids than I do. If you want me to raise your kids I'll do it for the time I have them, but give me all the same tools I use with my own children. Don't expect me to be a miracle worker with your child that you have allowed to be lazy and apathetic their entire life if I can't teach them some basic respect and discipline. Tired of budget cuts. How is it that when economic hard times hit, educational funding is the first to be cut? I work California, which has some of the most difficult state standards, but ranks in the bottom five states for per pupil funding. And again in the upcoming 2011-2012 school year more cuts are coming. I chose this profession. With the amount of time I spent in school to become a teacher (4 years for a BA, pluse a 1 year teacher credentialing program, plus 40 or so units post grad on top of that) I could go to work in the private sector and make more money. I want to teach, but I am at the point now where it just doesn't seem worth it. The general public thinks we're overpaid and blame us for all thier children's problems. I've got 2 kids of my own and I'll tell you right now if my daughter, who is also an 8th grader at another middle school in my city, fails any of her classes, the first person I'm blamin is myself as her PARENT. I check her grades weekly, ask her about homework. When she gets in trouble for talking or getting out of line at school, I make sure that there are consequences for those behaviours both at home and at school. When my daughter recently got a referral for talking in class, I didn't fly of the handle and blame the teacher. I talked to her about it, talked to her teacher and administrator, and by the end of the whole thing could clearly see that my daughter was at fault. Being a parent doesn't mean blindly protecting your children from consequences. I have students whose parents would rather argue in defense of their child's misbehaviours than simply do their jobs and correct their child's behaviour. As for being overpaid, consider this. My 4 year old son's day care provider charges 15 dollars a day to watch him for 4 hours(my wife works 1/2 time this year as she is a displaced teacher due to budget cuts). If he does stay 7 to 8 hours the charge is 25 dollars. My salary breaks down to about 45 dollars per hour this year, but that is strictly dividing my gross salary by the number of hours my contract stipulates, not the number that I actually work. Either way, I bet many people think that is alot. Well consider that my son's day care provider, who has no higher education, and isn't required to teach anything (she does teach him quite a bit though) and is only required to babysit, makes more per child per hour than I do. If I were paid 15 dollars per student for every 3 hours, I would make over 900 dollars per day! What I make now is far less than half of that. Even at the 25 dollar for 7 hour rate, I would still make 2 times what I currently make. So the next time some ignorant person spouts off about how overpaid a teacher is, tell them that they are paying their day care provider more per child than a teacher makes, and the teacher is expected to babysit your child while teaching them what they cannot.
