Well thank goodness you are out (?) of that system then. I can tell you that if you are anywhere near a motivated and compassionate educator the last thing teaching is, is boring and repititious.
The easiest thing for me, and the most rewarding as a teacher, is being innovative, creative and enthusiatic about meeting the needs of the kids that come thru the school gates everyday.
The hardest thing...dealing with parents who can't put the effort into their own kids and leave it all up to schools and society to do the rearing.
While many of you knock the government worker, I think you need to come to grips with what Sup. is suggesting. If I might be so bold...its the system which is creating the problems not the workers. The system includes everyone who interacts with it, regardless of whether you're a provider or user of the system.
You know its the nurses, teachers, social workers, allied health workers and clergy who are supporting the DAILY ills of the socciety that all of you are in and create. Sure there are bad eggs, as I have stated before, in private industry too. I think every gov. worker sees on a daily basis, peers who just don't tow the line. That however is not unique to gov. 'enterprise'.
Anyhow, I gotta go prepare another boring, repititive days lessons so I can screw with everyone's kids minds.
